ABSTRACT:
1. A system adapted to guide an aircraft along a path defined by frequency modulated signals of a transmitted conical scan pattern, comprising a receiver carried by said aircraft to receive said signals, means to detect from said signals and the amplitude modulation of said signals caused by the movement of said aircraft relative to the axis of said conical scan pattern any rate of change of the direction of movement of said aircraft with respect to the nutation axis of said conical scan pattern, and means responsive to said detected rate of change to direct the movement of said aircraft along a path within said conical scan pattern defined by any line of constant scan modulation.
