Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for guiding a missile. In accordance with the prior art, the angle position of a target ( ) when the missile ( ) is expected to reach the target is predicted on the basis of the angular velocity determined in a preceding time period. In order to improve the strike accuracy, the operator, in a second subsequent time period, tracks the actual position of the missile in relation to the predicted angle position of the target. If a deviation is observed, a correction command is transmitted to the missile in order to correct the missile trajectory. For this purpose, a communications link is provided to transmit the correction command given by the operator.
