The centroid of the discrete components forming the overall radar return
from a target onto which a homing weapon is being guided may not coincide
with a desired aimpoint on the target. Herein proposed is the
discrimination and comparison of returns from different portions of the
weapon sensor's field-of-view, i.e. different portions of the target and
guidance of the weapon in dependence upon the relative values of the
differences between those returns. As a result, the weapon can hit say
the centre of a tank turret roof rather than the probably heavily
armoured area forward of the turret roof.
