It automatically aligns itself to the correct bearing and elevation received from the control console.A launcher can be completely reloaded in less than three minutes.” The launcher carries four missiles grouped round the transmitting aerial. The missile is then fired into the aimer’s field of vision and he guides it to the target by joy-stick control, stick movements being processed by the guidance transmitter and passed on to the missile in flight by an aerial mounted on the launcher. “Movements of the binoculars are transmitted electrically to the launcher control console. He maneouvres the director onto the bearing indicated, and the aimer picks up the target in his binoculars. The former receives the target bearing on his pan from the ship's warning radar. “The director is manned by a control officer and an aimer. “The system to be installed in the RAN frigates will consist of a visual director and a launcher, mounted on deck, and a fire director room containing a launcher control console and a guidance transmitter.
