Abstract Conventional air-to-air missiles with aerodynamic control surfaces have limitations in terminal interception against high-speed, highly maneuverable targets. At the same time, the presence of exposed fins also constrains the loading efficiency on fighter jets. As a feasible and efficient control approach, nose deflection control technology has gradually demonstrated considerable engineering potential. It is expected to provide valuable reference information for the development of next-generation missile control technologies. This paper first systematically reviewed the historical development and current research status of nose deflection control. Then, it provided a comprehensive analysis of research endeavors related to aerodynamic characteristics, configuration optimization, dynamic modeling, and control system design, as well as the mechanism design and simulation of nose-deflection-based missiles. Finally, this paper summarized the significant research progress and anticipated the future trends in the development of nose deflection control technology.
