Abstract (en)
This target indicator makes it possible to increase the accuracy and efficiency of guidance of homing missiles towards a target. <??>For indicating ground targets, it comprises an ovoid casing (15) equipped with a rip cord (4), with a magnet (1) and with a coil (11) for detecting a variation in flux at the time of an impact on a magnetic surface. Arranged inside the casing are a battery (6), an electronic control and transmission circuit (5) and a barrel (2) of pulse generators (13) connected to one another by means of pyrotechnic delay devices (12). The barrel opens out onto a single nozzle (3) inclined relative to the axis (Z) of the casing. After impact on the ground, the electronic circuit (5) commands the ignition of the first pulse generator. The other pulse generators cause jumps until fastened on a magnetic surface by means of the magnet (1). After the detection of the flux variation, electronic circuit (5) commands the ignition of the rip cord (4) for the purpose of ejecting the casing (15) and the barrel of pulse generators (13) and triggers an ultrahigh frequency or infrared transmitter, depending on the particular homing missile to be homed in. <IMAGE>
