Line 1:

'''MCLOS''' (short for '''Manual Command to Line of Sight''') is a ''first-generation'' method for guiding [[guided missile]]s.

With an MCLOS missile, the operator must track the missile and the target simultaneously and guide the missile to the target. Typically the missile is steered with a [[joystick]]. MCLOS requires considerable training and practice to master, and today has mostly been replaced by the easier-to-use [[SACLOS]].
