Programmed control of the flat track anti-tank guided missile

The paper presents the algorithm of the programmed guidance of the flat track anti-tank missile onto a target, both motionless and moving by means of system called SACLOS (Semi Automatic Command to Line-of-Sight). The adjustment of control is done with the use of the angles between the target line-of-sight and the missile line-of-sight. The proposed algorithm of control enables attacking not only the targets visible from the sighting position (most often moving), but also the invisible (motionless) ones whose coordinates of location are known. Some results of the simulation research are presented in a graphical form.
