This patent discloses a system for locking a missile seeker to a desired target signal while the missile is in flight and approaching the target. The target is detected and tracked by a remote radar. The missile is launched and utilizes an inertial mid-course guidance to guide it in the general direction of the target. A data link is established between the remote radar and the missile seeker. When the missile is sufficiently close to the target its active radar is turned on and target information is transmitted via the data link to the remote radar or tracking station. The remote tracking station transmits back to the missile information for correcting its tracking course and provides information which effects missile seeker lock-on of the target of interest and will cause the missile seeker to continue to track the target until impact.
