ABSTRACT:
The Nutated Beamrider Guidance Using Laser Designators provides a means of roducing an accurate laser beamrider command guidance link between the launch platform and the missile during its flight through the addition of a simple variable offset nutator mechanism to existing Army laser designators. Such a beamrider guidance enables the missile to determine its position in the guidance field by measuring the angle of arrival of side scatter from the pulsed beam. These measurements result in the production of correctional signals which cause the missile to move closer to the boresight axis for eventual impact on the target.
