Could wartime television guide an assault drone?

Could Second World War television technology provide a useful view from an assault drone?

It is proposed as feasible with further development, using a short-range, low-quality picture, but the available technology and camera-size penalty remain uncertain.

Television guidance is proposed as a way to give a drone operator a view from the weapon instead of judging its flight from another aircraft. A short-range, low-quality picture might be sufficient for that purpose, but period camera size raises a payload problem. Equipment fitted where the pilot had been could still compete with the warhead for space. Better accuracy is offered as the reason to accept that tradeoff. The available television technology remains uncertain. The example of Japanese infrared guidance working better at night illustrates the different limits of another guidance method.
