Abstract: A missile system and method for performing automatic fire control in which a reconnaissance vehicle is used to gather video reference information of a target and this information is then communicated to a launching vehicle from which missiles are caused to be trained on the selected target by utilizing an automatic target handoff correlator that identifies the selected target, causes an autotracker to be locked on and finally a computer is signaled by the automatic target handoff correlator to cause a missile to be fired.

Abstract: A fire control system for a short range guided missile in which the system is contained on a vehicle such as a track vehicle that can be easily camouflaged from the enemy and including video means for acquiring a target desired to be destroyed and utilizing this video information as reference information in an automatic target handoff correlator which correlates the reference information from video signals from a missile that was launched from the vehicle and guided by a missile control computer to the field of view of the selected target with the automatic target handoff correlator comparing the reference video signals and the seeker video signals from the missile to place the target in the center of the field of view of the seeker and once this is done a missile autotracker is commanded to lock-on and guide the missile to the selected target.

Abstract: An automatic landing system for guiding an unmanned aerial vehicle along a predetermined path to a predetermined point on the ground. The system includes an image processing means resident in the motion compensation processor that computes aerial vehicle parameters. The computed parameters are altitude, changes in altitude, changes in pitch and yaw angles, roll angle and changes thereto, and changes in cross range and down range position. These computations are based on the movement of elements in the video of an imaging sensor onboard the aerial vehicle. The motion compensation processor also measures the distance (in pixels or picture elements) between two beacons placed a known distance apart on either side of the apparent touchdown point. A recovery control processor uses these parameters to compute both desired and actual altitude as a function of range from the vehicle to the apparent point of touchdown and to provide offset error in azimuth from the desired flight path to the landing area.

Abstract: A multi-warhead, anti-armor missile which includes a missile that has a bter section, a sustainer section, guidance and control means, and primary and secondary warhead sections at nose portions of the missile, with said primary warhead being designed for defeating basic armor of an enemy target and said secondary warheads being designed for dispersal into a cluster prior to the missile arriving at the target and arranged for defeating advanced armor explosive positioned around the basic armor.

Abstract: An automatic landing system for landing remotely piloted flying vehicles ng a predetermined path and at a predetermined point. The system includes an autopilot carried by the flying vehicle for measuring the parameters of attitude, airspeed, and heading and for comparing the measured parameters with the inputted parameters for the desired attitude, airspeed and heading. The autopilot adjusts the vehicle controls to make it conform to the desired attitude, airspeed and heading when deviations therefrom are detected. The system includes a radar transmitter and receiver means disposed on a stabilized double gimbal for measuring the actual heading and distance from the vehicle to the radar transmitter and receiver on a continuous basis.
