  Command guidance systems
Command guidance missiles are those which are guided on the basis of direct electromagnetic radiation contact with a friendly source (i.e., ship, ground, or aircraft).
Guidance signals are sent to the missile by varying the characteristics of the missile radar tracking beam.
The guidance signals or commands generated by the computer are routed to a command (radar or radio) transmitter and sent to the missile.

 Aerospaceweb.org | Ask Us - Missile Guidance
Missile guidance concerns the method by which the missile receives its commands to move along a certain path to reach a target.
The majority of the flight is flown using midcourse guidance, during which the missile makes slight adjustments to its trajectory allowing it to reach the vicinity of the target.
Command guidance is similar to beam riding in that the target is tracked by an external radar.

Third, the command has found it difficult to design an exercise that fully covers all of its responsibilities because its missions are so diverse and their relevancy to the exercise is dependent on the type and stage of a particular crisis.
Additionally, absent clear, consistent guidance from the command, four new mission organizations that have not yet achieved full operating capability are establishing their own criteria for this milestone, which results in different understandings of what it means to reach this milestone and how it would be evaluated.
Under the command's plan, the first 30 percent of the transferred positions were to have been filled at each organization by September 2005, 60 percent of the positions are to be filled by September 2006, and 90 percent are to be filled by September 2007.

 Missile guidance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
command guided, an active system in which signals are sent to the missile using radio control or some similar system.
MCLOS, manually command to line of sight, the operator watches the missile flight and uses some sort of signaling system to command the missile back into the straight line between the operator and the target (the "line of sight").
Stellar-inertial guidance was first used in the American Poseidon missile and uses star positioning to fine-tune the accuracy of the inertial guidance system after launch.

 Command guided - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Command guidance is a type of missile guidance in which a ground station or aircraft relay signals to a guided missile via radio (or possibly through a wire connecting the missile to the launcher) and tell the missile where to steer in order to intercept its target.
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).
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.

 Missile guidance systems - Patent 4721270
In automatic command to line of sight guidance systems, the missile and target are tracked remotely and a guidance computer processes the tracking data to provide a guidance command for the missile.
Even if the guidance computer successfully coasts through a period when the target is obscured by the flare, it is thought highly unlikely that the target tracker will be able to regain good tracking until a substantial proportion of the target is uncovered.
The missile guidance system to be described is for use with a missile which is intended to travel at high speeds and to inflict damage on a target primarily by virtue of the transfer of kinetic energy from the missile to the target on impact.

 Types of Guidance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Guidance systems are usually classified according to their path control system, since many missiles use the same type of attitude control.
These commands are transmitted to the missile by varying the characteristics of the missile tracking or guidance beam, or by the use of a separate radio uplink transmitter.
HOMING GUIDANCE.-Homing guidance systems control the path of the missile by means of a device in the missile that detects and reacts to some distinguishing feature of (or signal from) the target.

 MAN PORTABLE SURFACE-AIR MISSILES
Gathering involves the use of a radio or optical command link to steer the missile into the centre of the tracking beam, the position of the missile is usually sensed by an infrared device which tracks the missile exhaust plume.
Once the missile has been gathered into the beam the beam riding guidance may be engaged and the missile can then corkscrew its way up the beam until collision with the target.
This technique involves the infra-red tracking of the missile's flightpath and the automatic transmission of steering commands which keep the missile on the LOS between the aiming reticle and the target.

After booster jettison the second stage is captured in the radar beam and guidance signals are sent via antenna on the rear fins to place the missile on an intercept trajectory.
Guidance beyond the 60 km booster jettison point is by course correction command signals from the Square Pair radar with the S-200's own active radar terminal homing seeker head being activated near to the projected intercept point for the final guidance phase.
Missile guidance is of the Track-Via-Missile (TVM) type with the FLAP LID guidance radar capable of engaging up to six targets simultaneously, with two missiles assigned per target to ensure a high kill probability.

 Salmon Alley House Rules
Once a command guidance system has taken control of the missile, inertial guidance is turned off and cannot be reinstated.
Illumination guidance and laser-designator guidance do not require that the launching platform be the illuminating/designating and tracking platform, but they are not capable of hand-offs: the illuminating/designating platform must be illuminating the target from the moment of launch until the intercept.
In the case of radar illumination, the target and the launcher must both be within the radar range of the illuminator and the angle difference to the target between the illuminator and the launcher must be 60 degrees (one hexside) or less.

During SRM burn, the current state vector determined from the navigation function is compared to the desired state vector, and the commanded attitude is adjusted to compensate for the buildup of position and velocity errors caused by off-nominal SRM performance (thrust, specific impulse).
Attitude control in response to guidance commands is provided by thrust vector control during powered flight and by reaction control thrusters during coast.
Measured attitude from the guidance and navigation subsystem is compared with guidance commands to generate error signals.
