FIBER OPTICS is well known in the a remote firing station. Hence the
telecommunication field for civil and following advantages are gained:
military applications. The main  the operator is in the loop, which
advantage is its high transmission enables him to pick up the
rate for communication of complex commands at any time;
data such as images. In addition,  the target selection and final
fiber optics provides total immunity to identification are made by the
electromagnetic effects, whether operator;
these are due to natural causes or to  there is high impact precision
active interference. Fiber optics for regardless of firing distance, which
missile guidance makes it possible to increases in proportion as the
transmit the target image “seen” by
the missile in flight to the operator at missile approaches the target.

b. are considered capable and flexible, but too expensive.
c. allow the operator to see the missile but not change direction.
d. are used by the operator to stop interference from other missiles.

AN UNMANNED American reconnaissance aircraft disappeared during a mission
over the southern section of the country. It was the first American aircraft to have
been lost in seven years, US. officers said Monday. The aircraft - a relatively slow
Predator - crashed near a southern port city after entering the country from the
neighboring no-man's land. Local TV broadcast fuzzy pictures of a plane leading
American analysts to conclude that it might not have been the one reported as
being shot down It was not clear whether an American attack Monday against an
SA-3 surface-to-air missile site in northern areas was related to the downing of the
unmanned plane However, the loss of the Predator could be significant, coming
little more than a week after the country announced that it was improving its air
defenses.
