A device intended to generate a signal of the missile priming to overfly

摘要

The invention concerns a device 16 intended to supply an initiating signal 14 for an air-to-ground missile 1, for the purpose of expelling a projectile 3 in order to attack the target 4 which it is just in the act of overflying and which is detected at two different angles W with respect to the direction of displacement of the missile by two sensors 2', 11', to provide better identification of the target. For this purpose, an active sensor and a passive sensor 16 are connected to the device 16 in different operating directions; preferably, the first active sensor 16 is a radar detector 19 with a highly focused radiation pattern directed at a leading angle W1 while the second passive sensor 11' directed along a lower leading angle or even vertically, having a wider radiation pattern, is designed for example in order to pick up variations in the terrain 15 in the environment of a current target 4. The initiation signal 14 is supplied when a profile of typical dimensions coincides sufficiently with stored dimensional data 24 characteristic of the target and when, furthermore, after a corresponding flight time interval, the modification of typical terrain 15 to be detected passively is recorded.
