Weapons system for the ballistic and guided attack on multiple targets, especially by an aircraft

摘要

The present weapons system enables an aircraft to attack simultaneously a urality of targets in an aimed, guided manner by a like plurality of small missiles or projectiles. For this purpose the missiles are carried in a rotatable drum type platform comprising respective launching tubes. The firing control system of the aircraft includes a computer which takes into account automatically the target coordinates and other data for selecting that missile which is most suitable for a particular target, whereby the rotatable platform requires a minimum of rotation for aiming the missile with a proper lead factor at the respective target. The missile is then automatically fired without any need of the aircraft heading toward the target.
