Abstract
A guidance system for controlling the flight of a guided missile onto a target, comprising an optical sight and a tracker mounted with their optical axes approximately in alignment in a common housing which is pivotable for aiming the sight at a target. The housing also carries a missile firing button and a manually-operable joystick for generating primary direction control signals for controlling the missile. The tracker produces automatically secondary control signals representative of the displacement of the missile in flight from the axis of the tracker. Transmitter means is provided in a separate housing for transmitting both primary and secondary control signals simultaneously to a receiver in the missile so that the flight of the missile is controlled by the combined primary and secondary signals.
