 ABSTRACT

This document describes a laser missile guidance system in which a projectile or

missile is fired toward a predetermined target with the missile being tracked on its flight
toward the target by laser radar, processing the laser radar information in a computer
apparatus and finally computing a new trajectory from the missile to the target and
transmitting correctiong signals to a correction device on the missile including thrusters on
the missile to cause the trajectory of the missile to be changed to the newly computed
trajectory for the missile. This system corrects the trajectory of the missile while in flight
by recomputing a trajectory from the missile to the predetermined target and making
appropriate corrections each time. This enables the missile to only contain laser radar
reflecting means, and correction detection and control means on the missile rather than
having gyro and laser type devices on board the missile which take up a considerable
amount of space and weight.
