What subassembly in the WGU-12/WGU-39 GCU processes incoming error signals?

The guidance electronic unit in the WGU-12/WGU-39 guidance control unit (GCU) is responsible for processing incoming error signals. This subassembly analyzes the data from various sensors to determine the trajectory and position of the missile or projectile. When it detects discrepancies between the desired course and the actual path of the missile, it interprets these error signals and generates appropriate corrective commands. These commands are then communicated to other components of the GCU to adjust the flight path, ensuring that the missile remains on its intended trajectory. The effective processing of error signals is pivotal for maintaining accuracy and precision in guided munitions systems.
