MCLOS (short for Manual Command to Line of Sight) is a method for guiding guided missiles.

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 MCLOS requires considerable training and practice to master, and today has mostly been replaced by the easier-to-use SACLOS.
