ABSTRACT:
A missile (20) includes a missile body (22) having a propulsion motor (26), a gimballed target seeker (32), and control fins (30) for altering the flight path of the missile (20). The missile (20) has a missile flight control unit (44) which provides an indicator of the launch status of the missile (20) as to whether the missile (20) is launched from a fixed location or from a moving vehicle. The initiation of the guidance of the missile (20) toward a target (60) by the control fins (30) and the guidance law of the missile (20) are established responsive to the launch status indicator.
