A method for controlling at least one missile radar sensor moving along a trajectory with a missile. The missile radar sensor is set up to recognize a target object. The operating parameters for modulation of the missile radar sensor are adaptively adjusted during the movement along the trajectory depending on target object data on the target object.

Control method for a missile radar sensor of a missile, missile control unit and missile

A missile, in particular a guided missile, has a missile body and a radar sensor unit for acquiring a target object. The radar sensor unit contains at least one radar antenna, strip-shaped in the longitudinal direction, that is mounted or integrated on a circumferential surface of the missile body such that the longitudinal direction of the at least one strip-shaped radar antenna is aligned in the direction of the missile longitudinal axis.

Missile, in particular guided missile, having a radar sensor unit

A missile controller guides a missile along a flight path to a stationary or moving target object. The missile controller has at least one side-looking sensor, configured to record surroundings data and has a field of view aligned transverse to the longitudinal axis of the missile, and a control unit having a reception unit for receiving target object data regarding the target object. The target object data containing position data, orientation data and/or speed data of the target object. The control unit is configured to set the orientation of the missile during the guidance at least partly based on the received target object data such that the target object is located in the field of view of the side-looking sensor at least in sections of a final guidance phase.
