  • Patent number: 5027202
    Abstract: The invention relates to a picture transmission system of a guided missile which is connected with a ground facility by way of an optical wave guide. This system is arranged that, without any increase of the transmission band width of the optical wave guide, two TV pictures are transmitted to the ground guiding facility, in which case, in addition to the moving picture for the navigation of the guided missile, enlarged stationary pictures for a target identification may also be retrieved, without interfering with the picture-supported navigation. An embodiment is disclosed which includes a camera with a single fixed lens body containing a centrally disposed wide angle lens for sensing navigation aiding images and a surrounding longer focal distance lens for sensing target identification aiding images.
