Missile Guidance - GOT Systems

GOT Systems

In every GOT system there are three subsystems:

  • Target tracker
  • Missile tracker
  • Guidance computer

The way these three subsystems are distributed between the missile and the launcher result in two different categories:

  • Remote Control Guidance: The guidance computer is on the launcher. The target tracker is also placed on the launching platform.
  • Homing Guidance: The guidance computers are in the missile and in the target tracker.

Famous quotes containing the word systems:

    I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.
    Anne Sullivan (1866–1936)

    No civilization ... would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change. Foremost among the stabilizing factors, more enduring than customs, manners and traditions, are the legal systems that regulate our life in the world and our daily affairs with each other.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
