Abstract

Bei einem Suchkopf mit einem Sucher (14), der hinter einem für eine Nutzstrahlung durchlässigen Fenster (12) angeordnet ist und auf die Nutzstrahlung eines Ziels anspricht und von der Lage des Ziels im Gesichtsfeld abhängige Zielsignale liefert, mit Mitteln zur Bestimmung einer Sichtlinie zu dem Ziel und mit einer Abdeckung (18) zum Schutz des Fensters (12) vor thermischen und mechanischen Belastungen, insbesondere für Hochgeschwindigkeits-Flugkörper, weist die Abdeckung (18) eine Öffnung (20) auf und ist mit dieser Öffnung (20) durch Stellmittel der Sichtlinie nachführbar.

Figure 00000001
In a seeker head with a viewfinder (14), which is arranged behind a window (12) which is transparent to useful radiation and which responds to the useful radiation of a target and supplies target signals dependent on the position of the target in the visual field, with means for determining a line of sight to the target Aim and with a cover (18) to protect the window (12) against thermal and mechanical loads, in particular for high-speed missiles, the cover (18) has an opening (20) and is with this opening (20) by adjusting means Line of sight trackable.
