Yes. The progrsamming for this isn't particularly hard, once you've
written software that can identify a vehicle (or other target) in a
picture. It's just a matter of aiming the missile towards the
target.

Have you looked up "Tactical and Strategic Missile Guidance" by Zarchan
(ISBN 1-56347-254-6) like I recommended?

I haven't -- I tend not to read off-net sources, due to time, space
and money constraints.

Lots of university libraries should have it. There are at least five
copies of it at various libraries in Sweden, so there should be 50+ in
the uk.

I would still really, really recommend it. It illustrates the hidden
complexity of guidance. The naive algorithm of "I know which way the target
is, so I'll turn towards it" can't be expected to work all that well.
Even if the missile avoids crashing because the guidance got it into
an uncontrollable oscillation.
