Extract

The title of this paper is to be construed as primarily referring to guided missiles. Some of the principles have possible application to more peaceful purposes, such as aircraft flight, but the primary emphasis is towards weapon systems.

The principal guidance and control methods are discussed on a review basis but certain of them, which are particularly important or of which the author has special experience, are considered more fully. These are, in particular, guidance and control problems relating to homing missiles.
