ABSTRACT:
A method for guiding the final phase of a ballistic missile wherein the target and the missile are continuously tracked to determine their positions with respect to the missile firing platform; the actual coordinates of the missile position, which are continuously being furnished by the tracking system, are constantly compared with nominal coordinates determined by a fire control computer and the deviation is computed therefrom; a correction signal, as to magnitude and direction of the path of the missile is generated from the deviation and is transmitted to the missile as a wireless, coded signal; and this correction signal, together with measurements for the dynamic flight characteristics are translated in the missile into a triggering pulse to actuate a path correction for the missile.
