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:
“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)
“The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
