This invention relates to a system for locating a body in motion with respect to an axis, comprising an optical detector disposed in fixed manner and cooperating with an optical emitter connected to said body in motion, system wherein said optical detector comprises a fixed matrix of controllable photosensitive elements; said optical emitter produces flash signals; and synchronization means are provided for said electronic control means to deliver control pulses synchronized with said flash signals and triggering off the taking of an image. The invention is more particularly applicable to the location and guiding of missiles.
