ABSTRACT:
A guided missile is directed toward a ground level or sea level target despite the presence of laterally and vertically offset decoys by causing the missile first to "acquire" one of the target or decoys. The guidance system then directs the missile in the azimuth plane toward the acquired target while it directs the missile along a predetermined path that ends in a low level horizontal flight. A simulator simulates a flight path toward the acquired target in the elevational plane. When the simulated flight path toward the acquired target deviates from the predetermined elevational path by a preset amount, a logic system causes the missile to unlock from the target and acquire a new one. Thus the missile will ultimately only lock onto the sea level or ground level target.
