: Information-sensing and processing units that direct or aim the delivery unit. This often includes a "human in the loop" to make final engagement decisions.
: Systems that track the target and calculate the optimal flight path for a missile or trajectory for a projectile. weapons system
: The actual delivery of a destructive device, such as a missile or shell, to the target. Modern & Emerging Capabilities : Information-sensing and processing units that direct or
Every weapon system operates through a specific "targeting cycle" or set of core functions to ensure accuracy and lethality: such as a missile or shell
: Units (like radar or infrared sensors) that find, locate, and identify potential threats.
