Abstract: A flying body, rotating about its rolling axis, supplies reference signals, in accordance with its angular position, to a control device which produces Cartesian horizontal and vertical control signals. The reference signals effect production of a sawtooth voltage in which each pulse corresponds to a 360.degree. rotation of the flying body. Each voltage pulse produces at least three function potentials spaced from each other by 90.degree., and these function potentials are individually compared with the Cartesian control signals to produce respective pulse width modulating output potentials. These latter are combined to produce a control signal potential which is transmitted to the flying body and which is phase rigid with respect to the rolling position thereof and contains control information for a single control force producing device, on the flying body, with the control information being separate for the vertical and horizontal signal directions and in a timed sequence.

Abstract: A splinter warhead for guiding flying bodies for combating aerial targets by detonation by a proximity fuse upon close approach to the target includes front and rear body portions interconnected by a warhead envelope constructed as a splinter warhead transporting structural member carrying an explosive charge detonatable by the proximity fuse. The explosive charge, which has an essentially circular cross section, has a lining of pre-formed splinters on its peripheral surface, this lining being disposed between the explosive charge and the warhead envelope. The pre-formed splinters have essentially a ball or spherical shape and an individual weight of less than 1 g. The average diameter of the explosive charge is more than 25 times the average diameter of the splinters. The splinters may be arranged in a single layer or in more than one layer, and may be all of the same diameter, or the splinters may be of different diameters and be arranged in groups with each group comprising splinters of the same diameter.
