ABSTRACT:
A method of directing a close attack missile launched from a high speed aircraft flying at low altitude with precision accuracy to a target. The method includes three phases: an initial control phase after launching to stabilize and control the missile until the resultant velocity is near zero; a transition pointing phase to automatically reorient the missile after its resultant velocity approaches near zero so that its velocity vector is pointing directly at the target; and a terminal homing phase for automatically guiding the reoriented missile to the target.
