The patent application relates to a lightweight, fire and forget weapon system which utilizes a man transportable shoulder fired launcher for firing a missile to a target. An impulse controlled motor delivers a programmed quantity of impulse for range control of the missile. The motor is in front of the warhead and pulls the warhead. At a predetermined time, the motor is separated from and pulls away from the payload. The payload continues in a ballistic trajectory until an asymmetric drag spoiler is deployed at a time presset at launch. The payload then continues to descend in a spiral motion imparted by the asymmetric drag device. A body fixed sensor acquires the target and provides a signal for firing the warhead. (Author)
