The first AS-30 was a development of the 1960s Nord AS-20 to allow both an increase in range and a much larger warhead, and is almost identical to the earlier AS-20 in design. The AS-30 has four large steeply swept-back fins like those on the AS-20, cruciform in cross-section around the midsection of its body. But because of its larger size, the AS-30 in addition has four smaller fins at the rear of the missile body to increase stability in flight. The AS-30 has a two-stage solid fuel rocket motor, a short burn time booster section which is exhausted through two large nozzles located mid-way between the rear edge's of the large fins, and a longer burn time sustainer, which exhaust at a nozzle located at the back-center of the missile body. As with the AS-20, the AS-30 uses a simple MCLOS g

abstract
  • The first AS-30 was a development of the 1960s Nord AS-20 to allow both an increase in range and a much larger warhead, and is almost identical to the earlier AS-20 in design. The AS-30 has four large steeply swept-back fins like those on the AS-20, cruciform in cross-section around the midsection of its body. But because of its larger size, the AS-30 in addition has four smaller fins at the rear of the missile body to increase stability in flight. The AS-30 has a two-stage solid fuel rocket motor, a short burn time booster section which is exhausted through two large nozzles located mid-way between the rear edge's of the large fins, and a longer burn time sustainer, which exhaust at a nozzle located at the back-center of the missile body. As with the AS-20, the AS-30 uses a simple MCLOS guidance with the pilot aligning the flares located near the missile's rear with the target and controlling the missile in flight after launch with a small joystick sending steering commands to the missile via a radio link. The steering commands steer the missile back to the line-of-sight by thrust vectoring by the movement of one of four metal vanes around the sustainer nozzle. The missile's internal gyro gives the missile command unit the correct position of the missile in flight, so each of the four thrust vanes can actuate at the correct time to steer the missile back to the correct flight path.
