  • Missile head to be released in an airplane cargo drop or from a flying body
    Patent number: 4584943
    Abstract: Missile head to be released in an airplane cargo drop or from a flying body. The missile head has a target-sensor having a transmitter, a receiver, an antenna and an explosive charge ignitable by a target location signal. In order not to interfere with the function of the explosive charge, it is best that the antenna be located in front of the target-sensor with respect to the flight direction, while the target-sensor is located behind the explosive charge with respect to the flight direction. The connection between the antenna and the target-sensor is provided by a wave carrier filled with explosives.
