ABSTRACT:
A vehicle guidance system wherein a vehicle is guided in either a command guidance mode or a homing guidance mode. In the command guidance mode, the target tracking element, used during the homing guidance mode serves as an inertial reference element. Such element is attitude stabilized in pitch and yaw by mechanically driven means used in both modes, such means driving the reference element with respect to the vehicle's body and, in roll, by the vehicle's roll autopilot to aerodynamically control the vehicle's attitude in roll.
