Abstract
A missile guidance system including a sensor for detecting the position of a target and for detecting the position of a missile. A fire control processor is provided that computes a trajectory for the missile to the target and is connected to the sensor to determine any variations between the actual missile position from a computed trajectory missile position. A transmitter connected to this guidance computer then provides guidance information to the missile. The guidance information includes the missile position relative to the target and enables a processor on board the missile to recompute a new trajectory to the target. This guidance information is transmitted as a single pulse during a predetermined time interval as a periodic update to the missile.
