terminal guidance

[′tər·mən·əl ¦gīd·əns]

(navigation)

Guidance of a craft from an arbitrary point, at which midcourse guidance ends, to the destination.

terminal guidance

Mid-course guidance correction may be provided by aircraft radar.

i The guidance applied to a guided missile in the vicinity of the target. It is the guidance between the termination of midcourse guidance and the impact with, or detonation in the proximity of, the target.
ii. Visual, electronic, mechanical, or other assistance given to an aircraft pilot to facilitate arrival at, operation within or over, landing upon, or departure from an air-landing or airdrop facility.

With a low-observable composite airframe and capable of operational range in excess of 108nm, the NSM features an advanced passive guidance package which combines GPS-aided multi-sensor navigation with an advanced dual-band imaging seeker and autonomous target recognition for terminal guidance. According to Kongsberg, the high-resolution imaging seeker provides autonomous target recognition and a selectable aimpoint for each ship-class.
