  • Patent number: 10094643
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a method, apparatus and computer storage device for reducing dispersion of a rocket caused by jet-stream misalignment, the rocket comprising a rocket engine. Information indicative of a division of total operation time of the rocket engine into a first time period and a second time period is obtained; wherein an impulse which is generated during the first time period is at least approximately the same as an impulse generated during the second time period; a period of time which equals to the first time period starting from time of activation of the rocket engine is measured; upon termination of the period of time, the rocket is rotated around the rocket's longitudinal axis; and the angle of rotation measured; and the rotation is stopped once a 180° rotation is completed.

  • Patent number: 9869756
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a laser system and a respective method of detecting a signal reflected from a target illuminated by a modulated CW light source configured to generate a modulated laser signal at a predefined modulation frequency. A signal comprising true laser signal portions reflected from said target, and noise is received; the signal is filtered for selecting laser signal portions at a modulation frequency band; and the true signal portions in the signal are detected, if the energy at the modulation frequency band is greater than a given threshold.

  • Publication number: 20150212201
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a method and system for enabling detection of signal reflection from a target designated by a pulse laser spot generated by a low-power laser designator. A signal comprising true signal portions reflected from said target and noise is received and sampled and a first value or a second value is assigned to each sample. The assigned (ith) values in K pulse rate intervals are summed to obtain respective summed values. One or more candidate clusters are identified from among the summed values and a final candidate cluster is selected from among said one or more candidate clusters. The final candidate cluster is located with respective samples of an incoming pulse rate interval, thereby detecting an area within said signal which comprises the true signal portions.

  • Publication number: 20130255527
    Abstract: A projectile (100) is provided for operating at least in a launch phase and in a post-launch phase. The projectile includes a projectile body (10), a projectile head (50), and a support structure (80). The projectile head is non-rigidly mounted to the projectile body via a joint structure (70). The support structure is configured for selectively supporting the projectile head with respect to the projectile body in a load bearing relationship independently of the joint structure during at least a portion of the launch phase, and for selectively terminating the support during at least a portion of the post-launch phase. A method for operating a projectile and a method for retrofitting a projectile are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8054451
    Abstract: A system that includes a laser designator configured to continuously designate a target with a pulsed laser spot. The system includes a sensor and associated processing system configured to receive a reflection of the laser spot, convert the received energy to plurality of signals, processing the signals for detecting true reflected signals and process the true reflected signals for generating target related action. The sensor and associated processor are configured to detect the true signals notwithstanding an inherent low Signal/Noise ratio of below 4 of the received signals from due to low pulse power of the laser designator and distance to target.

  • Publication number: 20060242180
    Abstract: The invention is a process, system, and workflow for extracting and warehousing data from semi-structured documents in any language. This includes, but is not limited to, one or more of methods for: the automatic building of text mining term models; the optimization or evolution of such text mining term models; the implementation of document specific (or company specific) memory; and the tying or linking of the extracted data, or metadata, once placed in a target electronic document, to the machine readable, underlying source document, thus providing verification and provenance. The process preferably incorporates a wizard-based method for producing pattern recognition text mining term models to extract data from text. The invention also includes a system, method and workflow for handling a subsequent document of similar design and structure, specifically the automatic extraction of target elements and addition of the same to a database.

  • Patent number: 5695152
    Abstract: In a system including a launcher device and a projectile of the type that spins in flight, an assembly for detecting and correcting deviations of the projectile from the planned flight trajectory of the spinning projectile, leading from the launcher device to a selected, visible target, including, in combination:a first electric signal generator associated with the launcher device;target marker including a light emitter and being associated with the launcher;a sensor device mounted on the projectile and spinning together with it, including sensor having a forehead and an optical assembly capable of focusing and projecting on said forehead a beam of light reflected from the target so as to draw on the forehead an imaginary circle whose radius is proportional to a real-time deviation angle defined, in a first approximation, as the angle between the tangent to the projectile's flight trajectory and the projectile's line of sight (LOS) towards the target; anda thruster initiator that is capable of activating thru
