Abstract
A guidance system for guiding a missile to a target including an array of photosensitive elements arranged orthogonally to the axis of the missile, a scanning arrangement for enabling scanning of the array of photosensitive elements by means of an optical system, and a target detecting arrangement for controlling the field and the pace of scanning executed by the scanning arrangement so that the field of scanning is smaller and the pace of scanning is greater after detecting a target than before target detection.
