Anti-tank guided missiles generally have short to medium travel range, therefore it is suitable to use CLOS (command line-of-sight) as a way to guide them, due to its cost-efficient architecture configuration. To design, develop, and validate this SACLOS (semi-automatic command line of sight) guidance technology, a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) simulation, and function testing was conducted in an open subsonic wind tunnel environment. The algorithm and hardware architecture are to be tested non-destructively steering the missile against a 20 m/s air velocity. The mission is to follow the rule-based SACLOS desired command exerted to the missile, and the experiments confirm this accomplishment.
