Examples of methods of achieving thrust vector control specified in 9A106.c. are:

1C117 Tungsten, molybdenum and alloys of these metals in the form of uniform spherical or atomised particles of 500 micrometre diameter or less with a purity of 97 % or greater for fabrication of "missile" motor components, i.e., heat shields, nozzle substrates, nozzle throats and thrust vector control surfaces.

d. Movable nozzle or secondary fluid injection thrust vector control systems capable of any of the following:

The Clinton system, as defined under Secretaries of Defense William Perry and William Cohen, would depend upon the detection of ICBM launch by the use of infrared detection satellites in geosynchronous orbit; the alerting of powerful radars that would illuminate the threat cloud of warhead plus decoys, or other accompanying objects; and ground-based interceptors that would perform a hit-to-kill intercept by collision against the re-entry vehicle carrying the nuclear warhead (1545) The system would have an overall command and control and communication aspect, in order to perform not only the necessary command functions, but also to mana ...[+++]ge the difficult program of discriminating the object containing the warhead from objects that were intentional or unintentional decoys.

Before spending blindly, the government ordered in-depth studies by experts in order to evaluate the shortcomings and failures of the current system.

We regularly do vector checks through a commander's council chaired by the Chief of the Defence Staff, which involves operational commanders as well as force generators.
