Prasanna Venkatesan 2 * Faculty of ECE, Indian Naval Academy, Ezhimala, India DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1147484 ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to explain the CLOS (Command to Line of Sight) Missile Systems in detail. The includes the concept behind it, the technology used and the applications in modern warfare. While the paper will largely deal with CLOS guidance, the theory behind basic functioning of a guided weapon/missile will also be discussed. The MCLOS (Manual Command to Line of Sight), SACLOS (Semi Automatic Command to Line of Sight), and ACLOS (Automatic Command to Line of Sight) are also presented along with their applications. KEYWORDS: ACLOS, MCLOS, SACLOS I. INTRODUCTION A Guided weapon may be described briefly as a weapon system which the warhead is delivered by an unmanned guided vehicle. Guided missiles have only been in practical use since the advent of World War II. It is because the technology has enabled the invention of the final product has been around for a lot longer. From the oldest of discoveries, like that of gunpowder in the 1st millennium BC by the Chinese to the rapid advances in the field of science, they have all been required to the practical enabling of the concept of guided missile systems [1][2]. The Germans were the first to field guided weapons with the use of V1 guided bomb and the V2 rocket.

  • Missile Communication Links
    Missile Communication Links Clifton E. Cole Jr. tandard Missile (SM) is a family of surface-to-air missiles used on U.S. Navy destroyers and cruisers. As the U.S. Navy’s Technical Direction Agent for SM, APL has been involved with the development and in-service use of numerous aspects of this missile, including all of its variants, since their conception. One of the many aspects of APL’s involvement is in the area of missile communications links that were introduced into SM in the early 1970s to support its new midcourse guidance mode. APL’s efforts in this area include concept development, design, analysis, testing, test equipment design, modeling and simulation, and systems engineering. This article provides an overview of the current communications links used by SM and discusses the Preplanned Product Improvement Link, a new communica- tions link development for SM and the Evolved Seasparrow Missile that also is used by the U.S. Navy on some of their combat ships. INTRODUCTION All Standard Missiles (SM) except for SM-1, the midcourse phase of flight allows the support of more mis- oldest variant, use a communications link. SM-1 was a sile engagements in a given time period because the illu- home-all-the-way guided missile that received its homing minator, which is required for the entire SM-1 flight, is a guidance signal from target-reflected energy provided by limited shipboard resource. Aegis destroyers have three a high-power transmitter, called an illuminator, resid- illuminators, and cruisers have four. When midcourse ing on the Terrier and Tartar ships from which it was guidance is used, the illuminator is required only during launched.

Samsel's Book “Operational History of the 117th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron (Mecz) World War II”; "Riviera to the Rhine" by Jeffrey J.

Recent editing (21 August 2007) by Philip S. Notestine, Editor, The Spur newsletter of the 117th Cavalry Association. ************************************************************************************************* From August 9, 1921 through November 16, 1940, the 102nd Cavalry had been a unit of the 21st Cavalry Division. In November of 1940, after two years of experimenting in a search for a highly mobile ground reconnaissance force, the War Department selected seven National Guard and two Regular Army Cavalry Regiments to be reorganized as "Horse-Mechanized Cavalry". With a new National Emergency in sight, and mobilization already under way, the "Essex Troop" was honored to be one of those selected. So it was that on the 16th of November 1940, the 102nd was reorganized as the 102nd Cavalry Horse/Mechanized and relieved from assignment to the 21st Cavalry Division. It was from the 102nd Cavalry Regiment that the 117th would later be created. On January 6, 1941 The 102nd Cavalry Regiment, New Jersey National Guard was ordered into Federal Service for what was to be one year. On that day, all troops reported to their respective Armories to prepare for shipment to Fort Jackson, S.C.

Many monoplanar systems have been developed and demonstrated in the U.S.; however, few entered the inventory and generally remained for only a short time. By contrast_within the Soviet Union, many monoplanar missiles have also been developed_ most of which have remained in the inventory. A large data bank of monoplanar missile aerodynamics exists and many programs are currently underway. Most monoplanar missile systems have been directed toward use as surface-to-surface or air-to-surface where range requirements may be more important than maneuver requirements. However, the use of monoplanar systems in the surface-to-air and air-to-air roles should not be overlooked. INTRODUCTION . The knowledge of rocketry and missiles has been in existence for many centuries but the serious thought of using unmanned cruise missiles for possible military application did not begin until early in the 20th century. This thought, of course, was spawned by the advent of successful manned flight with heavier-than-air vehi- cles. The early missiles generally had an airplane-like appearance since the bulk of available information was related to airplane design.

Initially a comparison of command to line-of-sight guidance and proportional navigation has been presented. Miss distance, variation of angle-of-attack, normal and lateral accelerations and error of missile flight path from direct line-of-sight have been used as noteworthy criteria for comparison of the two guidance laws. Following this comparison a new approach has been proposed for determining the most suitable guidance gains in order to minimize miss distance and improve accuracy of the missile in delivering the warhead, while using CLOS guidance.
