Line-of-sight propagation, electro-magnetic waves travelling in a straight line Non-line-of-sight propagation; Line-of-sight fire, shooting directly at a visible target on a relatively flat trajectory; Line-of-sight velocity, an object's speed straight towards or away from an observer; Line-of-sight double star, one in which two stars are only ...
Line of sight (LoS) propagation from an antenna. Line-of-sight propagation is a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation or acoustic wave propagation which means waves can only travel in a direct visual path from the source to the receiver without obstacles. [1] Electromagnetic transmission includes light emissions traveling in a straight line.
Predicted line of sight (PLOS) is a method of missile targeting. In PLOS, the operator tracks the target with the missile launcher's onboard sights for a short period of time (3-5 seconds). In PLOS, the operator tracks the target with the missile launcher's onboard sights for a short period of time (3-5 seconds).
Semi-automatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) is a method of missile command guidance. [1] In SACLOS, the operator must continually point a sighting device at the target while the missile is in flight. Electronics in the sighting device and/or the missile then guide it to the target.
Beam-riding, also known as Line-Of-Sight Beam Riding (LOSBR), beam guidance or radar beam riding [1] is a technique of directing a missile to its target by means of radar or a laser beam. The name refers to the way the missile flies down the guidance beam, which is aimed at the target.
Line of sight (video games), visibility on a gaming field, i.e. who can see what; Line of Sight (film), a 1960 French drama film; Line of Sight (novel), a techno-thriller novel; Line of Sight: Vietnam, a video game "Line of Sight", a song by Odesza from A Moment Apart; Line-of-sight: Leonardo da Vinci's term for the path that light follows to ...
The MGM-166 LOSAT (Line-of-Sight Anti-Tank) was a United States anti-tank missile system designed by Lockheed Martin (originally Vought) to defeat tanks and other individual targets. Instead of using a high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead like other anti-tank missiles, LOSAT employed a solid steel kinetic energy penetrator to punch through ...
In missile guidance, line of sight (LOS) is the line directly between the launcher/tacker and the target, which must be in view.If the target is moving the missile is constantly manoeuvred to be on the line of sight as it changes, this results in the missile flying a curved path to the target (see command to line-of-sight).
