Optical remote control arrangement for a projectile

Abstract

An optical remote control arrangement for a projectile, having provided for the guidance of the projectile from a firing base to a target, a sighting arrangement adapted for the sighting of the target along a sighting line. At least one light source is located at the firing base which emits a lamellar-shaped or finned light beam which upon traversing through at least one deflecting device periodically passes over a region containing the sighting line, wherein the light beam is directionally-dependently modulatable and detectable by at least one detector acting upon a demodulator and arranged on the projectile, by means of which control signals are generatable which act on the control devices of the projectile so as to exert an influence over the trajectory of the projectile. The optical remote control arrangement for a projectile has the light source (Laser) connected ahead of a modulator (MOD) sequentially generating pulse sequences of different pulse frequencies within a control period, and which controls the deflection device (ABL) as well as exciting the light source (Laser) for the emission of pusle frequency-modulated beams, through the detector (DT) of the demodulator (DEM) arranged in a projectile (G), consisting of a frequency measuring arrangement (FM), a programmable storage circuit (PROM) connected through the output thereof, and having connected therewith a decoder (DEC) which is associated with the control arrangement (STV).
