ABSTRACT:
The system is intended to determine the angular deviation of the missile to direct it into a target. It comprises a laser, a rotating convergent cylindrical lens to convert the laser beam into a flat, elongated, rotating pencil beam. The missile bears one detector scanned by the pencil beam and processing circuits for determining the polar coordinates of the missile and for controlling its rudders.
