Automatic Command to Line-Of-Sight (ACLOS)

Target tracking, missile tracking and control are automatic.

 

Command Off Line-Of-Sight (COLOS)

This guidance system was one of the first to be used and still is in service, mainly in anti-aircraft missiles. In this system, the target tracker and the missile tracker can be oriented in different directions. The guidance system ensures the interception of the target by the missile by locating both in space. This means that they will not rely on the angular coordinates like in CLOS systems. They will need another coordinate which is distance. To make it possible, both target and missile trackers have to be active. They are always automatic and the radar has been used as the only sensor in these systems. The SM-2MR Standard is inertially guided during its mid-course phase, but it is assisted by a COLOS system via radar link provided by the AN/SPY-1 radar installed in the launching platform.

 

Line-Of-Sight Beam Riding Guidance (LOSBR)

Main article: Beam riding

LOSBRuses a "beam" of some sort, typically radio, radar or laser, which is pointed at the target and detectors on the rear of the missile keep it centered in the beam. Beam riding systems are often SACLOS, but do not have to be; in other systems the beam is part of an automated radar tracking system. A case in point is later versions of the RIM-8 Talos missile as used in Vietnam - the radar beam was used to take the missile on a high arcing flight and then gradually brought down in the vertical plane of the target aircraft, the more accurate SARH homing being used at the last moment for the actual strike. This gave the enemy pilot the least possible warning that his aircraft was being illuminated by missile guidance radar, as opposed to search radar. This is an important distinction, as the nature of the signal differs, and is used as a cue for evasive action.

 

LOSBR suffers from the inherent weakness of inaccuracy with increasing range as the beam spreads out. Laser beam riders are more accurate in this regards, but are all short-range, and even the laser can be degraded by bad weather. On the other hand, SARH becomes more accurate with decreasing distance to the target, so the two systems are complementary.

 

Track-via-missile

Track-via-missile is a variation of command guidance, the main difference being that the missile itself sends target tracking information back to the guidance system to aid it in calculating the intercept. This negates much of the accuracy disadvantage of pure command guidance.

 

Examples

 

Examples of missiles which use command guidance include:

 

Russian: SA-1 'Guild', SA-2 'Guideline', SA-3 'Goa', SA-15 'Gauntlet', SA-4 'Ganef'

American: Nike Ajax, Nike Hercules, Nike Zeus

Indian: Akash

Note that older western missiles tended to prefer using pure semi-active radar homing.

 

Pure command guidance is not normally used in modern SAM systems since it is too inaccurate during the terminal phase (when the missile is about to intercept the target). This is because the ground-based radars are distant from the target and the returned signal lacks resolution. However, it is still quite practical to use it to guide the missile to a location near the target, and then use another more accurate guidance method to actually intercept the target. Almost any type of terminal guidance can be used, but the most common are semi-active radar homing (SARH) or active radar homing.

 

Examples of missiles which use command guidance with terminal SARH include:

 

Russian: SA-5 'Gammon', SA-6 'Gainful', SA-11 'Gadfly', SA-17 'Grizzly'

Examples of missiles which use command guidance with terminal active radar homing include:

 

Russian: S-300VM, S-350E, S-400, S-500

>I believe that Potus has a very good reason to mention the "Boston Bomber" (BB?).

yeah, he mentioned the Boston Bomber case out of nowhere..comparing it to something so atrocious that the death penalty is a must.

so how does it compare to what was done 21 years ago

KEnnedy's certainly have a Massachusetts connection
