A system for controlling the trajectory of a mobile, defined by a launch point and a target point, said mobile being jet-propelled and comprising at least one nozzle, being stationary with respect to the rear bottom of said mobile and with a revolution symmetry with respect to the longitudinal axis thereof, said system comprising at least one moving flow deflector external to said nozzle and being able to penetrate the outlet flow of said nozzle so as to lead to a deflection of said mobile,
- wherein said system comprises means for angularly orienting said deflector by rotation around the longitudinal axis of said mobile, preliminarily to the launch thereof, so as to allow on flight for the deflection of said mobile in a substantially vertical plane going through said launch point and said target point, by the operation of said deflector.
