All-weather intercept of tanks from a helicopter

摘要

A radar is used for detecting and locating threat tanks. The selected target tank bearing and range are displayed to the helicopter pilot who directs the helicopter course accordingly to aim missiles toward the target. Range to the target is inserted into a computer which determines launch elevation and predicts time of flight. Based on a predetermined time delay after launch, a seeker in the missile begins searching for the target. Upon acquiring the target, the missile seeker tracks the target and enables homing to intercept.
