RADIANT ENERGY GUIDED MISSILE SYSTEM

摘要

A guidance and control system for continuously maintaining a missile along the line of sight between a ground vehicle and a ground target. A first communication link between the missile and the vehicle, including a missile source transmitting infrared energy and a vehicle tracker, continuously measures the location of the missile with respect to the line of sight, with the vehicle tracker providing yaw and pitch error signals. A guidance and control computer n the vehicle generates compensating signals proportional to missile flight time and target motion at right angles to the line of sight, and combines the compensating signals with equalized error signals to generate pitch and yaw command signals. A second communication link between the missile and the vehicle, including a vehicle transmitter for transmitting the pitch and yaw command signals and a missile receiver for receiving the command signals, provides correction signals to missile flight control means for maintaining the missile along the line of sight. The flight control means includes an equalization network for stabilizing the correction signals.
