	Ask Us A Question - Missile guidance technologies of missile systems use a variety of methods to guide a missile to its ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.
		SACLOS has the advantage of allowing the missile to start in a position invisible to the user, as well as generally being considerable easier to operate.
		SACLOS is the most common form of guidance against ground targets such as tanks and bunkers.

	AT - 4 SPIGOT Anti-Tank Guided Missile
		The SACLOS guidance system increases accuracy and reduces operator training requirements, since it is no longer necessary for the operator to track target and missile simultaneously.
		An apparatus at the control site then generates guidance commands which are transmitted to the missile by wire, causing the missile to eliminate the deviation.
		The requirement that the missile launcher of a SACLOS system be collocated with the aiming and tracking assembly (i.e., the operator) eliminates the possibility of moving the operator to a remote position for safety.

	Informat.io on At 4 Spigot
		The AT-4 Spigot is the NATO reporting name for the 9M111 Fagot (Bassoon) SACLOS wire-guided Anti-tank missile of the Soviet Union.
		The launcher tracks the position of an incandescent infrared bulb on the back of the missile relative to the target - and transmits approriate commands to the missile via a thin wire that trails behind the missile.
		The SACLOS guidance system has many benefits over MCLOS, with the accuracy of the system stated as 90% in some sources, though its performance is probably comparable to the TOW or the later SACLOS versions of the AT-3 Sagger.

	SACLOS short for Semi Automatic Command to Line Of Sight... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		"SACLOS" (short for "Semi-Automatic Command to Line-Of-Sight") is a method by which missile missiles can be guided.
		In SACLOS guidance, the operator has to continually point a sighting device at the target while the missile is in flight.
		Radar Radar was the most common form of SACLOS signals in early systems, as in the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft role the target is typically being hit by a radar signal anyway.

		The four units are the missile in its sealed container, an infrared goniometer, the guidance unit and the tripod assembly, the latter being adjustable for three firing heights.
		As with the Red Arrow 8, the Baktar Shikan operates on the SACLOS principle.
		The firer aims at a target using the x12 magnification sight on the 6° field of view goniometer and presses the firing trigger.

		On firing, the operator has only to keep his aiming mark on the target and the SACLOS guidance system will do the rest.
		Milan was the first of a series of infantry anti-tank weapons that seriously started to challenge the supremacy of the main battle tank on the battlefield.
		In addition to being capable of defeating main battle tanks (MBTs) from all aspects, Milan is also required to have a secondary capability against other battlefield targets, such as fixed defences.

		:'''SACLOS''' :SACLOS, semi-automatic command to line-of-sight, is a modification of MCLOS systems, in which the operator tracks only the target, and electronics calculate the needed "lead".
		Commands are then sent to the missile as before, either over radio control or wire guidance.
		SACLOS dramatically reduces the operator workload, typically to simply keeping a piece of equipment pointed at the target.

		The 9K111 Fagot (AT-4 SPIGOT) is a tube-launched, wire-guided, SACLOS, ATGM system, similar in many respects to the US TOW system.
		The AT-4 system consists of three major components: the SPIGOT missile, the launch tube, and the missile launcher.
		Its extremely narrow field of view makes it more difficult to decoy, since the decoy source must be inside the field of view.

		The HJ-73 is also fired from vehicles in place of the Sagger.

		The HJ-73C is a rather new development; it totally gives up the joystick controls, only requiring the gunner to keep the target in the crosshairs, and adds thermal imaging.

		MCLOS requires the gunner to track the missile and target, bringing them both together at the point of impact manually.
		SACLOS uses computerization, allowing the gunner to track only the target, while the missile moves to the aimpoint without the gunner tracking it seperately.
		MCLOS is very difficult to use against a manuevering target.

		this is a good move, as it replaces a SACLOS missile with a fire & forget type.The fire & forget capability helps beat the tank overwatch tactic, as unlike SACLOS the enemies' overwatching tank firing back at the launch position won't put the gunners aim off.
		The question is, would Britain have been better off purchasing the Gill/Spike system.This enabled the firing of two types of missile from one launcher (Gill a 2km range fire&forget, Spike a 5km range SACLOS).
		The most likely reasons for going with Javelin is the obvious advantage of interoperability with the US, and the existence of a large support infrastructure in place.

	Which Anti-Tank Missiles Are Best (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		They have often been on the short end of the stick when engaged in combat with armored vehicles. There are dozens of ATGM models out there, and a few are better at what they do.
		Anti-tank guided missiles usually are controlled through a guidance system known as SACLOS (semi-automatic command line-of-sight).
		All an operator has to do is to hold the tank, infantry fighting vehicle, or armored personnel carrier in the sights of the missile launcher, and the missile will be guided into the target, either via wires that connect the missile to the launcher or via electronic transmissions from the missile to the launcher.
