  MCLOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MCLOS (short for Manual Command to Line of Sight) is a first-generation method for guiding guided missiles.
MCLOS requires considerable training and practice to master, and today has mostly been replaced by the easier-to-use SACLOS.
The accuracy achieved by MCLOS missiles is hard to put a firm figure on, since it is highly dependent on the skill of the operator.

 Lurker Anti-tank missiles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
MCLOS systems required that the operator watched both the target and the missile at the same time while controling the missile with a joystick.
An advantage of MCLOS was the operator did not need to be that close to the launcher, which was reassuring since tank crews soon got into the habit of shelling any launch sites they spotted.
The launchers themselves were very simple - some were just a rail, some were launched from the carrying case and some such as the German Cobra 2000 and Mamba had just had a handle on top and were jumped into the air by a secondary rocket or nozzle.

 Missile guidance - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
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").
MCLOS is a subtype of command guided systems.
SACLOS, semi-automatic command to line of sight, is similar to MCLOS but some automatic system positions the missile in the line of sight while the operator simply tracks the target.

 Guided missile   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Almost all German systems used manual command to line-of-sight, or MCLOS, inwhich the missile was directed via either radio control by an operatorwatching both the missile and the target.
MCLOS relies on their being a high speed differential between the missile and thetarget, otherwise manually calculating "lead" becomes difficult.
In the case of glide bombs missiles against ships or the supersonic Wasserfal against slow-moving V-17 bombers this system worked fine, but as speedsincreased MCLOS was quickly rendered useless for most roles.

Entac (ENgin Téléguidé Anti-Char) or MGM-32A was a French MCLOS wire-guided Anti-tank_missile.
These course corrections are transmitted to the missile via a thin set of wires that trail behind the missile - see MCLOS.
Like many early ATGMs the missile had a large minimum range (see AT-3 Sagger) due to the time it took to get up to flight speed and come under operator control.

To launch the system, the "W" barn doors were opened on either side and the missile launcher system, with its three 3M6 missiles, was raised into position.
The missiles were joystick controlled, Manual Command Line of Sight (MCLOS) guided, and had an effective range of 2,500m, which took the missiles thirty seconds 'to cover.
The operator required considerable training in order to quickly locate the missile on launch and guide it to its target by use of a trailing wire link.

Earlier infantry anti-tank weapons such as anti-tank rifles, anti-tank rockets and magnetic anti-tank mines had limited armor-penetration abilities and/or required a soldier to approach the target closely.
First-generation Command guided MCLOS missiles are guided manually, requiring input from an operator using a joystick or similar device.
Second-generation command guided SACLOS missiles require the operator to keep the sights on the target until impact.

El nombre que recibe es MCLOS (Manual Command to Line of Sight, comando manual en la línea de visión).
El SACLOS (Semi Automatic Command to Line Of Sight, comando semiautomático en la línea de visión) supone una evolución del MCLOS que simplifica la tarea del tirador y con ello la aumenta enormemente precisión.
El MCLOS y el SACLOS son los principales sistemas de guía por cable, pero hay ocasiones en las que no se puede recurrir al filoguiado por lo que el cableado se sustituye por ondas de radio.

 Tanknet > Question on BRDM-2 with AT-3 ATGM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The operator could displace up to 25m from the launcher, but due to the characteristics of MCLOS control (lots of left-right weaving are typical as controllers try to bring the missile on to the target), it was always better to displace as close as possible in a direct line from the launcher towards likely targets.
In this way the missile would overfly the controller, making the task of "gathering in" the missile and flying it onto the target easier.
Yes, I already know it took a more experienced operator to have a high probability of hitting with an MCLOS ATGM compared to a SACLOS one, and that the Soviets moved forward to SACLOS to get better hit ratios.
