   A guidance system is a virtual or physical device, or a group of devices implementing a controlling the movement of a ship, aircraft, missile, rocket, ...

3. Inertial navigation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system

   An inertial navigation system (INS; also inertial guidance system, inertial instrument) is a navigation device that uses motion sensors (accelerometers), rotation sensors and a computer to continuously calculate by dead reckoning the position, the orientation, and the velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object without the ...

4. Guidance, navigation, and control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guidance,_navigation,_and...

   Guidance, navigation and control (abbreviated GNC, GN&C, or G&C) is a branch of engineering dealing with the design of systems to control the movement of vehicles, especially, automobiles, ships, aircraft, and spacecraft. In many cases these functions can be performed by trained humans.

5. Wake homing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_homing

   Wake homing is a torpedo guidance technique based on the wake trajectory left behind a moving target. [1] The torpedo is fired to cross behind the stern of the target ship, through the wake. As it does so, it uses sonar to look for changes in the water caused by the passage of the ship, such as small air bubbles. When these are detected, the ...

   Diagram of the Aegis Combat System (Baseline 2-6). The Aegis Combat System (ACS) implements advanced command and control (command and decision, or C&D, in Aegis parlance). It is composed of the Aegis Weapon System (AWS), the fast-reaction component of the Aegis Anti-Aircraft Warfare (AAW) capability, along with the Phalanx Close In Weapon System (CIWS), and the Mark 41 Vertical Launch System

   The ship's on-board computers then calculate the interception course and forward it back to the missile from an omni-directional antenna. This is similar to the older command guidance system, but avoids the inaccuracies of that system by locating the receiver on the missile, which is closer to the target and therefore sees a stronger signal ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/SPG-62

   Since then, the SPG-62 has been placed in service with many U.S. and foreign navy ships that have the Aegis Combat System. The SPG-62's role in Aegis fire control is to illuminate targets in the terminal interception phase. First, the ship's main search radars—either the AN/SPY-1 or the AN/SPY-6—detect and track the target. The Mk 99 FCS ...

9. Navigation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation_system

   A navigation system is a computing system that aids in navigation. Navigation systems may be entirely on board the vehicle or vessel that the system is controlling (for example, on the ship's bridge) or located elsewhere, making use of radio or other signal transmission to control the vehicle or vessel. In some cases, a combination of these ...
