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:
“Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of thee,
And thou, O Lord, art more than they.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“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)
