The paper considers the possibility of using an actuator for controlling the flight of an anti-aircraft missile (AAM), in the form of a fast rotating rotor suspended on a joint in its body. Forced changes in the rotor (gyroscope) axis position angle in relation to the body axis of the AAM generate moments of forces that change the missile flight direction and guide it to a moving target. The mentioned system could be applied to combat low-flying and fast-moving targets. The analysis was only applied to motion in a vertical plane, and the selected digital simulation results were graphically presented.
