An interface yoke plate is employed to impart directional control of multiple rocket nozzles. The interface yoke plate is rotated and translated in two orthogonal directions in accordance with steering commands from the missile autopilot and effects control along the yaw, pitch, and roll axes of the missile. One actuator yoke plate translates the interface yoke plate along one axis while another actuator yoke plate translates the interface yoke plate along a second axis. The interface yoke plate may also be rotated by one or both actuator yoke plates, causing a relative twisting of the multiple rocket nozzles and thereby directing their thrust in opposing directions and inducing a roll motion of the missile.
