Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of a propulsion and maneuvering system that may be suitable for use during a terminal phase in an interceptor are generally described herein. The propulsion and maneuvering system may include one or more axial thrusters to provide thrust along axial thrust lines that run through a center-of-gravity of the interceptor and a plurality of divert thrusters to provide thrust in radial directions. The combination of divert and axial thrusters may allow the interceptor to respond to a maneuvering target and may allow the interceptor to increase its velocity along a line-of-sight (LOS) to a target to change target impact/engagement time.
