The article presents the analysis of the impact point dispersion reduction using lateral correction thrusters. Two types of control algorithms are used and four sources of uncertainties are taken into account: aerodynamic parameters, thrust curve, initial conditions and IMU errors. The Monte Carlo approach was used for simulations and Circular Error Probable was used as a measure of dispersion. Generic rocket mathematical and simulation model was created in MATLAB/Simulink 2020b environment. Results show that the use of control algorithms greatly reduces the impact point dispersion.
