A system for enabling homing by a missile onto a target which is marked by a beacon at some other location. A radio frequency beacon is located remotely from the intended target. Target coordinates relative to the beacon are obtained and relayed by conventional means to the launch site and are stored in missile memory. During flight the missile seeker acquires, interrogates and tracks the beacon. The missile borne equipment generates guidance signals which alter the trajectory to the target location. (Author)
