explosion based 3D maneuvering system

Recommended Posts

a while ago i was stumbling through youtube's backcatelog when i found a old CGI demo, in this video a attack helicopter deploys 2 little drones that seem to navigate by some sort of explosion based maneuvering system.

is this based on anything in reality? dos this concept have a name and is there any research done into it. is it viable (even in a lower gravity environment)  i'm very interested it this way of navigating 3D space.

It's based on the Multiple Kill Vehicle:

They sort of look like pulsejets.

Yes, the rcs probably has fixed trust so you tune it by using short pulses. 
Extreme accuracy is needed for an anti ballistic missile. 
And I guess the large engine is just to compensate for gravity, On the real warhead it would probably not be used unless you wanted dV on the warhead for large adjustments like launching mulitple at once.  

And it makes no sense for an rocket in atmosphere, Here you would put the engine in back and taken the rocket fast, yes it would not look so cool.
