Abstract: A method for the marking of target objects against which guided projectiles or missiles are to be homed, and to an arrangement for the marking of target objects against which guided projectiles or missiles are to be homed. Target objects are marked through the application of radiators, which can be scattered over a target area through the use of carrier projectiles; for example, over an area within which there has been determined a collection of targets. Individual targets can then, without necessitating the technological demands for evaluating a target signature, be easily found by guided projectiles or missiles possessing target seeking devices which are directionally oriented towards the radiation energy of the marker, and homed thereon precisely targeted even when the target objects are already dispersed in a looser formation over a larger area.
