What system does the actual steering for a Precision Guided Munition (PGM)?

The Control System is responsible for the actual steering of a Precision Guided Munition (PGM). This system is designed to maneuver the weapon during its flight path, ensuring it follows the desired trajectory to hit its target accurately.

Within a PGM, the Control System interprets inputs from the Guidance System, which determines the necessary course corrections based on the weapon's positioning relative to the target. The Control System uses this information to adjust the fins or other control surfaces dynamically during flight, allowing for precise directional changes.

While the Guidance System plays a critical role in determining the correct path towards the target, it is the Control System that executes the changes needed to ensure the munition is guided accurately to the target. The Tracking System monitors the target's movement but does not directly influence the steering of the munition. Similarly, the Feedback System primarily provides information for assessing performance and adjustments rather than controlling the actual flight path.
