The following link is for a research paper (1957) describing a recoilless rifle weapon system using terminally guided experimental projectiles. This technology was still in the early stages of development at the time. The system described used a M40 106mm Recoilless Rifle, infrared target illuminator and projectiles modified to hold an infrared detector, guidance and control elements. Projectile picture and diagrams are included.
