Patent number: 10948270Abstract: It is proposed to make a threat better visible for a defensive measure. In this context, the threat (2) should be imaged more intensely for the defensive measure. For the purposes of more effective imaging, provision is made for the threat to emit a stronger IR signature and thus be able to stand out sufficiently against the background for the defensive measure. The stronger IR signature is caused by heating a surface of the threat, which is realized by a laser weapons system. The defensive measure can better detect this heating and has an IR seeker head to this end.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: RHEINMETALL WAFFE MUNITION GMBHInventors: Markus Jung, Alexander Graf
