A method for producing a mirror () from a titanium-based material by using the technique of ultraprecision machining. The mirror produced using this method has both a shape accuracy and a surface roughness in the submicrometer region. The mirror () is made from a titanium-based material having a shape accuracy and a surface roughness in the submicrometer region, whose basic shape () has a has a reflecting surface () having a surface roughness of less than 60 nm, and in particular of less than 30 nm.

A nose cover () for a dome () through which radiation can pass, for a missile, the nose cover having an outer structure () through which radiation can pass and which is aerodynamically better than a spherical shape, and having correction optics () through which radiation can pass and which can be placed in front of the dome (). The nose cover () makes it possible to retrofit older missiles such that they have a greater range without this necessitating any modification of the existing structure of the missile.

An optical arrangement () for a homing head (), for the purpose of imaging an object scene onto a detector unit (), including a control unit (), a first optical unit () having two at least partially transparent optical elements, in particular prisms (), a second optical unit () and a beam deflecting unit (), the first optical unit () directing radiation from at least two sections of the object scene onto the beam deflecting unit () in a superimposed fashion, and the beam deflecting unit () selecting one of the sections and, in conjunction with the second optical unit (), imaging the selected section on the detector unit ().
