The problem of package guidance by a given time for a linear control system with delay.

The problem of guaranteed closed-loop guidance by a given time under incomplete information on the initial state is studied for a dynamical control system with delay by means of the method of open-loop control packages. A solvability criterion is proved for this problem in the case of a finite set of admissible initial states. The proposed technique is illustrated by a specific linear control system of differential equations with delay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
