The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Divert and Attitude Control System (DACS) provides quick reaction propulsion that positions the THAAD missile to intercept its target. The DACS provides two kinds of propulsion, one for attitude control and the other for interceptor maneuvering. The Attitude Control System (ACS) uses six thrusters to provide roll, pitch, and yaw control for the interceptor. These thrusters act in different combinations to precisely aim the interceptor seeker field of view for proper viewing of the target. The seeker's target data are then converted into maneuvering or divert commands that actuate the other four DACS thrusters as required. The divert thrusters provide short forceful pulses to quickly and accurately position the THAAD interceptor for a collision with the target.
