Abstract: A method for the attacking of a target object from an overflying projectile, and wherein the projectile is equipped with a target detector for the activation of its warhead. Moreover, there is disclosed an overflying projectile which is equipped with a downwardly oriented target detector and with a warhead which is activated in dependence upon the target detection for the attacking of the target object. The method contemplates that the projectile be guided into a lower altitude of flight for the scanning of the target area, and upon detection of a target object is pulled up steeply into an ascending path, which has its tail end oriented towards the target object, so as to launch the warhead opposite the direction of flight which is in an ascending trajectory from the tail end of the projectile in a direction towards the target object.

Abstract: A test facility, especially for the seeker or search heads of intelligent guided ammunition, including a target simulator for the reflection of a target signature through the intermediary of antenna elements towards the search head which is mounted on a turntable or rotary member with a flight simulator. Arranged between the target simulator and the search head is a quasi-optical coupling which follows the beam geometry by means of an imaging system and, on the one hand, the search head, as well as, on the other hand, the target simulator are located in or proximate to the applicable focal point of the resultingly produced path of transmission.
