Abstract

A missile control and guidance system employing a combination of generallyertically disposed ailerons and generally horizontally disposed elevators. In order to make a horizontal turn, a combination of aileron and elevator deflections is used, to cause the missile to make a "blanked" turn. The ailerons and elevators are controlled by servos activated by a logic circuit. The logic circuit is connected to a segmented target detector. The missile will maneuver depending on which of the segments of the detector "sees" a target.
