5. In a target-seeking device having a plurality of steering members for steering it along a predetermined type of navigation course with respect to a target that is illuminated by radio-frequency signals having a substantially constant repetition rate, a guidance and control system operable solely in response to echoes of said signals reflected from said target for effecting the steering of said device along said predetermined course, said system comprising, in combination, gyroscope scanning means for conically scanning an area wherein said target is located; means coupled to said scanning means for receiving said signals, means for operating said receiving means in synchronism with the received echo signals, said scanning means being a generator of reference signals; means selectively operable by said reference signals and coupled to said receiving means to produce error signals representative of the deviation of said target from the center of the field of scan; and means selectively operable in response to said error signals and coupled to said scanning means and to said steering members to effect continuous tracking of said target by said scanning means and to operate said steering elements for steering said device along said predetermined course.
