GOT Systems
In every GOT system there are three subsystems:
-
- Target tracker
- Missile tracker
- Guidance computer
The way these three subsystems are distributed between the missile and the launcher result in two different categories:
-
- Remote Control Guidance: The guidance computer is on the launcher. The target tracker is also placed on the launching platform.
- Homing Guidance: The guidance computers are in the missile and in the target tracker.

Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“We have done scant justice to the reasonableness of cannibalism. There are in fact so many and such excellent motives possible to it that mankind has never been able to fit all of them into one universal scheme, and has accordingly contrived various diverse and contradictory systems the better to display its virtues.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
