  • Missile system incorporating a targeting aid for man-in-the-loop missile controller
    Patent number: 5605307
    Abstract: A missile is remotely controlled by a person operating with a base controller that displays an image of an aim-point target. Simultaneously, the base controller displays, as an overlay, a prosecutable target locus that represents the outer boundary of the region that may be hit by the missile, in the event that a maximum change in the guidance commands were to be introduced at that moment. The prosecutable target locus depends upon missile performance capability and the location of the missile relative to the aim-point target, which are provided to the base controller.
