The millimeter-wave zoom antenna for guiding a beamrider hypervelocity missile uses varying range information derived from the flight of the missile toward the target as control signals for the beam control computer to perform electronically the zooming and the nutation of the millimeter wave guidance beam that emits from a phased array antenna so as to maintain a constant energy density at the missile receiver regardless of the actual distance of the missile from the launch platform at any given time.
