ABSTRACT:
A missile (1) suitable for intercepting an airborne anti-tank threat is tethered to a ground station by control cables (9A,9B,9C,10). By altering the tension on the cables (9A,9B,9C) a vectored thrust nozzle arrangement (6,7) is rotated in order to control missile (1) attitude thereby enabling it to intercept an oncoming target.
