The Sparrow air to air missile has thrust vectoring.
It's been around for a long time.

Rockets and missiles have had thrust vectoring since the V-2 and true thrust vectoring since the 1950's. This invention is called a bell housing (the nozzle at the bottom of a rocket.

A lot of existing missiles have little "fins" that are inside the nozzle and deflect the exausted gas, the result is a vectoring thrust.
