Abstract
In regard to radar guidance of a launch container ( ) for fragmentation projectiles ( ) for defending against an attacking missile ( ), from the object ( ) to be protected, the present invention affords a radar guidance system which can be inexpensively set up from existing components and which, in the absence of interfaces between the object ( ) and the launch container ( ), operates in a trouble-free manner if, for space monitoring and target acquisition, provided on the substructure ( ) of the launch container ( ) which is fixed with respect to the object, there is a planar antenna ( ) which transmits its target information to a target-tracking radar ( ) which is integrated into the launch container ( ), for directly guiding the launch container ( ) on to the approach of the missile ( ) to be defended against.
