Fiber Optic Guided Missiles offer new opportunities to build a weapon system with unique abilities. A system of many missiles, guided from a common computer at the launcher, can combine sensor data from all the missiles and guide each missile optimally in collaboration with the others. The report gives three examples of weapon systems based on fiber optic guided missiles, and shows how collaboration between missiles can be used to obtain better system performance in tactical situations. The report also treats new methods for guidance, that need to be developed for collaborating missiles. The report contains a brief abstract of the current research in the guidance field. Fiber optic guided missiles show good potential for use at the fragmented battle field, where blue and red forces can be mixed with civilians. The missiles can be used against targets, whose positions are not accurately known, and thus are less demanding on the C3I system than most other long range weapons.
