Guidance systems
Guidance systems refer to the technology used to direct and steer vehicles like missiles, spacecraft, or aircraft along a specific path to reach their target. They utilize sensors, computers, and control mechanisms to detect the vehicle’s position and compare it to the desired trajectory. Based on this information, the system makes adjustments to the vehicle’s direction and speed, ensuring accurate navigation. Essentially, guidance systems act as the vehicle’s "brain," continuously calculating and implementing corrections to achieve precise targeting and successful mission completion.
