ABSTRACT:
A flying target control system for directing a flying target along a radio eam heading toward a ship under simulated attack according to a preselected altitude and speed profile. The control system utilizes a TACAN transceiver which receives TACAN signals emitted from the ship under simulated attack. The TACAN transceiver produces an azimuth signal to steer the target via an automatic pilot toward the ship under simulated attack and a range signal which is used to address a profile storage device. The profile storage device produces altitude profile control signals and speed profile control signals according to the range of the target from the ship which are fed into the automatic pilot to guide the target along its preselected altitude and speed profile.
