  • Patent number: 4008869
    Abstract: A projectile control system for projectile guidance and control for use against moving targets, which allows the projectile to fly a minimum energy path to target intercept, applies corrective commands to the projectile as it approaches the target to correct the projectile in flight for errors in system "boresighting" and similar errors, and also to correct the ground control system on the basis of the same measurements so that these calibration errors will have a reduced degradation on the accuracy of subsequent projectiles, and uses the miss sensing process to improve prediction accuracy when unguided projectiles are fired from the same launcher so that the system has both a controlled projectile and an unguided projectile capablity, and both capabilities benefit from the miss sensing and data processing process.
