摘要:
The system and method of a dual mode semi active laser seeker and imaging system using pulse detection and angle determination as applied to quad detectors to properly identify a correct designator spot. The angle performance is driven by the field of view of the imaging system. The imaging system resolution provides the required angle accuracy for guidance as cued by pulse detection apertures. The imaging system eliminates the need to designate until impact thus eliminating exposure to counter fire against the designator. The elimination of designation until impact also opens up the opportunity rapid engagement of multiple targets from a single designator.

A system includes at least one imaging sensor (228, 378) configured to capture images of a target (104). The system also includes at least one controller (230) configured to generate super-resolution images of the target using the captured images and identify multiple edges of the target using the super-resolution images. The at least one controller is also configured to identify an aimpoint on the target based on the identified edges of the target. In addition, the at least one controller is configured to update the aimpoint on the target as the target moves over time. The system may further include a high-energy laser (HEL) (202, 302) configured to generate an HEL beam (106) that is directed towards the target, and the at least one controller may be configured to adjust one or more optical devices (218, 220, 224, 342, 348, 354, 364) to direct the HEL beam at the identified aimpoint on the target.

A gun-launched ballistically-stable spinning laser-guided munition comprises a plurality of explosive divert elements arranged around the bullet to produce a force vector through the center of mass (Cm) of the bullet, a SAL guidance system configured to measure a sequence of roll and nod angle pairs (or their equivalent) to the target, a processor configured to process the roll and nod angles to compute a firing solution for one or more of the divert elements to produce a force vector to laterally displace the bullet to drive the nod angle to a prescribed value and a fire controller configured, once its operational mode is initiated, to fire the one or more explosive divert elements according to the firing solution to laterally displace the bullet without affecting the bullet's angle of attack and destabilizing the bullet.

An inertial measurement system (200) for a longitudinal projectile, comprising a first, roll gyro to be oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the projectile; a second gyro and a third gyro with axes arranged with respect to the roll gyro such that they define a three dimensional coordinate system. The system further comprises a controller (225, 250), arranged: - to compute a current projectile attitude from the outputs of the first, second and third gyros, the computed attitude comprising a roll angle, a pitch angle and a yaw angle; - for at least two time points, to compare the computed pitch and yaw angles with expected values for the pitch and yaw angles; - for each of said at least two time points, to calculate a roll angle error based on the difference between the computed pitch and yaw angles and the expected pitch and yaw angles; - to calculate a roll angle error difference between said at least two time points; - to calculate the total roll angle subtended between said at least two time points; - to calculate a roll angle scale factor error based on said computed roll angle error difference and said total subtended roll angle and apply the calculated roll angle scale factor error to the output of the roll gyro.

The invention concerns a process for measuring the initial velocity V 0 of an object that can be fired such as a shell or projectile that exits a barrel, said measurement being based on measurement of the force exerted on a sensor device (100) configured inside the object that can be fired, characterized in that the force is measured autonomously inside the object by detection of changes in shape of the sensor device (100) during movement of said object inside the barrel prior to its exit. The invention also concerns a device for measuring the initial velocity V 0 of an object that can be fired such as a shell or projectile that exits the barrel of a firing device such as an artillery piece, comprising a force-detecting sensor device (100) configured inside the object that can be fired, characterized in that the force-detecting sensor device (100) is configured so as to detect changes in shape of said sensor device (100) during movement of said object inside the barrel prior to its exit, and in that an included signal-processing unit calculates and determines the initial velocity V 0 based on the detected changes in shape. The invention also concerns a device and process for measuring the acceleration forces acting on an object that can be fired during movement of said object inside the barrel prior to its exit.

A multi-caliber fuze kit includes a fuze housing configured for coupling with multiple projectiles. One or more canards are moveably coupled with the fuze housing. The one or more canards are adjustable between two or more canard configurations. In a first canard configuration, the one or more canards are at a first canard angle relative to a bore sight of the fuze housing, and the first canard angle is configured for use with a first projectile. In a second canard configuration, the one or more canards are at a second canard angle relative to the bore sight of the fuze housing, and the second canard angle is configured for use with a second projectile. The first and second canard angles are different.

The optical system comprises a condenser (420) and a spreader (415) The spreader (415) subdivides an input aperture of the optical system into subregions The condenser (420) condenses the energy transmitted by the spreader (415) onto a detector Subdividing the aperture tends to minimize the effects of fluctuations larger than the size of the subregions on the transfer function.
