Abstract

The ground-ground missile has an electromechanical sensor to detect the target and trigger the homing sequence when above it. The missile can include a series of powder charges producing a transverse manoeuvring action, these charges being fired by the sensor to turn the missile about its centre of gravity so that it points down onto the target. The sensor can also be used to arm the head of the missile. The sensor can include a high density body with a cap to which a contact wire is attached. The sensor is located in a barrel in the missile, and is pref. of the impact type.
