Abstract: A projectile (12) carries a combination antenna (21), whose tuning corresponds to both the fundamental frequency of the radar (17) of a proximity fuse and the third harmonic of the carrier frequency of a satellite navigation receiver (20), in its replaceable tip (11) under its ballistic radome hood (14), so that both systems may be operated via this one combination antenna (21). For the decoupling, the radar range finder (18) is only put into operation when the navigation receiver (20) has been switched off because the projectile (12) has arrived over the target area on its corrected flight path.

Abstract: A munition article is to be provided with an antenna which, by virtue of a characteristic which is uniform all around, permits interference-free reception of items of satellite navigation information, even if in the manner of an artillery projectile it is fired with spin along an elongate ballistic trajectory, so that a tail antenna with a spherical characteristic does not allow the expectation of good reception factors in relation to navigation satellites which are as high as possible above the horizon. Therefore the tip (10) of the fuse tip (11) of the projectile is equipped with a dipole satellite antenna which faces in the direction of flight. Connected to the dipole (13) which is arranged concentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis (14) of the projectile are symmetrically disposed conductor portions (15) which rest with a close fit in recesses (19) in the ballistic cap (12).
