A jet bomb guidance system in which bi-directional nozzles are fired in a manner to produce force state changes resulting in improved level of control, greater force compatibility and greater efficiency in propellant fuel usage. The system includes four bi-directional nozzles spaced at 90 degree internals in which at least four single nozzles are open at any given instant to maintain a substantially constant gas pressure. The system may be positioned at the nose portion, tail portion, or center of gravity of the bomb.

1. A system for guiding an airframe during flight to a target comprising: a generally planar plate element having an accurate peripheral edge, a plurality of bi-directional jet nozzle elements positioned at said peripheral edge of said plate element, a gas generator element supplying gas to said plate element, said plate element supplying gas to said jet nozzle elements; each of said nozzle elements having bi-directional valve elements having a pair of solenoids and dual action solenoid controlled poppet valves for directing gas flow through said bi-directional nozzle elements; means for controlling said poppet valves to present a constant exit area, gas generated to allow said generator to operate without pressure regulation, said means simultaneously opening certain other of said valve elements to provide lateral incremental directional thrust.
