Which homing type has an operator tracking the target while a computer tracks the missile?

The correct answer is Semi-Automatic Command to Line Of Sight (SACLOS). In this type of guidance, an operator visually tracks the target and, while doing so, a computer manages the missile's flight path. This allows for a combination of human oversight and automated systems. The operator maintains control over the line of sight to the target, enabling quick adjustments, while the computer processes the missile's trajectory to improve accuracy and efficiency.

SACLOS systems rely on the steady tracking of the target by the operator, which is vital for guiding the missile towards its intended target. The operator actively engages with the system, ensuring that the missile remains on target, while the computer supports by adjusting for external factors that could affect the missile's path.

In contrast, other types of guidance systems like Automatic Command to Line Of Sight (ACLOS) do not require the operator to maintain a visual lock on the target in the same manner, as the system itself can automatically track the target. Similarly, All Command to Line Of Sight (CLOS) encompasses a broader definition that may include both SACLOS and ACLOS, without specifying the semi-automatic nature of operator involvement. Manual Command to Line Of Sight (CLOS) would indicate a more direct and sole
