Optical huaibare - da induction missile system

摘要

A fiber optic radar guided missile system 10 is disclosed which includes a radar receiver 12 disposed in a missile for receiving radar reflections and providing a first optical signal in response thereto. An optical receiver 14 is disposed at a launcher for receiving the first optical signal and for providing a set of electrical signals in response thereto. A fiber optic link 32 is connected between the missile and the launcher for communicating the first optical signal from the radar receiver 12 to the optical receiver 14. In a specific embodiment, the invention 10 includes a first system 12 disposed in a missile for receiving radar reflections which includes only an antenna 16 for receiving radar reflections, a radar seeker 18 for providing a first electrical in response to the received radar reflections, and a first fiber optic transmitter 26 for converting the first electrical signal into a first optical signal. An optical receiver 14 is located at a launcher for receiving the first optical signal and for providing a set of electrical signals in response thereto. The optical receiver 14 at the launcher includes a first fiber optic receiver 48 for converting the first optical signal into a second electrical signal and a signal processor 56 for processing the second electrical signal and providing radar output data. A fiber optic link 32 is provided for communicating the first optical signal from the radar receiver 12 to the optical receiver 114 at the launcher and missile commands from the launcher to the missile.
