ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to missile guidance and provides a method and system for guiding one or more missiles on to one or more targets. Aim on the targets and missiles is taken by means of two electro-optical pick-ups having a switchable field of view and supported on a stabilized and orientable platform. The pick-ups provide images displayed on screens and the corresponding video signals are processed by deviation measuring circuits which form tracking windows around the image of the targets and the missiles and determine their coordinates, the latter being addressed to a computing unit which generates guidance and steering commands transmitted to the missiles.
Application to the automatic guidance of missiles fired as a salvo from an anti-tank helicopter.
