missile guidance systems

Missile guidance systems are technology that directs a missile to its target accurately. They use various methods like GPS signals, radar, or infrared sensors to track the target's position and adjust the missile's path in flight. Some systems rely on pre-set coordinates, while others continuously update their course by 'seeing' the target in real time. This ensures the missile stays on course and hits the intended target with precision. Different guidance methods are chosen based on the type of missile, target distance, and environment, enabling effective and reliable targeting in complex situations.
