Abstract: A landing strobe is provided that comprises a vane extending from the landing strobe, and an actuator coupled to the vane. The actuator can be configured to move the vane from a first position to a second position upon impact of the landing strobe. The landing strobe can also comprise an optical emitter configured to emit an adjustable radiation pattern extending radially around a central axis that is substantially vertical when the van is moved to the second position. A landing strobe system is also provided and comprises a landing strobe configured to be released from an aircraft arranged over a landing zone. The vane is configured to extend at an upward angle outward from the landing strobe when released from the aircraft. The vane is further configured to extend at a downward angle outward from the landing strobe when the landing strobe contacts the landing zone.

Abstract: A directional ordnance for a missile. The missile contains circuitry to determine the direction of a target relative to the missile and to selectively detonate directing charges to force the blast from the warhead towards the target. The circuitry for determining the direction of the target includes two transmit antennas, each transmitting a different pseudo noise sequence, and two receive antennas; each coupled to a receiver which can determine the level of each pseudo noise sequence at each receive antenna. The relative strengths of the different pseudo noise sequences tell the direction of the target relative to the transmit and receive antennas.
