ABSTRACT:
A simplified missile tracker system that utilizes a single field of view while maintaining both the high resolution required for tracking and the wide field of view required for missile acquisition. The detectors in the acquisition portion of the field of view are clustered or ORed together to provide missile high signals of a weighted command for guiding the missile in elevation while greatly decreasing the required amount of detector signal processing. The bottom group of detectors are not clustered and they provide the high resolution and linear correction required for the accurate tracking of the missile in elevation. The azimuth tracking is provided by a synchronizing system and may be linear or nonlinear depending on the missile requirements.
