TERMINALLY GUIDED WEAPON DELIVERY SYSTEM ABSTACT A command guidance weapon system (11) comprising a radar target tracking system (15), and a weapon (16) with small thrusters (41-46) mounted on the periphery thereof and such weapon (16) having a small beacon transmitter which is tracked by a ground-based angle measurement device (13) is disclosed. A rapid terminal maneuver is executed by the weapon at an appropriate point (31) in the trajectory of the weapon (16) by sequentially firing the small thrusters. The angular orientation of the weapon (16) is obtained by canting a polarized antenna (25), located on the rear of the weapon (16), with respect to the longitudinal axis (60) of the weapon (16) so that the signal transmitted from the weapon (16) to the ground-based fire control system (11) is modulated. The fire control system (11) computes the precise time, based upon the angular orientation of the weapon (16) and the distance between the weapon (16) and the target (20, 21, 22), to initiate the terminal maneuver by the weapon (16), and sends a command signal to the weapon (16).
