Abstract :
The principle of correcting for inertial guidance error by means of star sighting has been successfully incorporated in automatic inertial navigators for aircraft such as the MK-1 guidance system for the SM62A pilotless bomber. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the application of stellar sighting techniques to the augmentation of inertial guidance for ballistic missiles.
