Information About

Fire-and-forget




Generally, information about the target is programmed into the missile just prior to launch. This can include coordinates, radar measurements (including velocity), or an IR image of the target. After it is fired, the missile guides itself by some combination of Gyroscopes And Accelerometers , GPS , RADAR , and infrared optics. Some systems offer the option of either continued input from the launch platform or fire-and-forget.
