A homing missile of which the target tracker has a restricted, e.g. a
slit-shaped, field-of-view and which incorporates means whereby the
field-of-view may be rotated, e.g. by rolling the missile, has a control
system which to avoid certain instability problems, such as adverse
autopilot coupling, imposed or made worse by the restricted field,
includes first limiting means for limiting the demanded rotation of the
field-of-view and second limiting means for limiting one lateral axis
missile steering signal. The other lateral axis steering signal is
modified in dependence upon the one steering signal and the rotation
demand signal to optimise control having regard to the restricted
view-field.
