Abstract: A nonelectronic device tracks and homes in on a target to be destroyed by a projectile having a body in which the device is carried. An optical (14) lens disposed in a nose cone of the projectile body (10) receives and focuses infrared radiation (IR) or heat from the target, which is an electromagnetic field that may be emanating from an exhaust plume of an incoming enemy intercontinental ballistic missile. A detector converts the radiation focused by the lens (14) into thermal energy. A Golay-type cell (16) receives the thermal energy and converts it into a fluid signal that is transferred via a nonelectronic coupler (20) to a fluidic circuit. A fluidic rate gyro (24) seeks the target and guides the projectile towards the target to be destroyed. A key advantage of the invention is that the nonelectronic infrared heat tracking device is composed of inert mechanical elements and fluids. Therefore, the device is unaffected by intense magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Furthermore, the detector and the subsequent fluidic circuit are not subject to damage when the nonelectronic tracking device is exposed to the intense EM fields that are produced by rail gun launchers, microwave antisensor weapons, and the like, as is the case with conventional electronic trackers.

Abstract translation: 非电子设备跟踪目标上的家庭，由具有装置所在身体的射弹摧毁。 设置在射弹体（10）的鼻锥中的光学（14）透镜接收并聚焦来自靶的红外辐射（IR）或来自目标的热量，该电磁场可能是从进入的敌人洲际的排气羽流发出的电磁场 弹道式导弹。 检测器将由透镜（14）聚焦的辐射转换为热能。 格莱型电池（16）接收热能并将其转换成通过非电子耦合器（20）传送到流体回路的流体信号。 流体速率陀螺仪（24）寻求目标并引导射弹朝向被破坏的目标。 本发明的主要优点是非电子红外热跟踪装置由惰性机械元件和流体组成。 因此，器件不受强磁场和电磁场的影响。 此外，当非电子跟踪装置暴露于由铁路枪发射器，微波反射武器等产生的强烈EM场时，检测器和随后的流体回路不会受到损坏，如常规电子跟踪器 。
