Abstract

See full text

A method for the independent control of a guidable flying body that is provided with a warhead and to an arrangement for implementing the method. The method resides in that the flying body flies on a curved flight path during its flight approach phase and, on the curved flight path, the ratio S/C between the signals S reflected by the ground target and the clutter C of the ground, on the average, is kept constant or at least approximately constant. The path vector of the flying body during the subsequent target approach phase is oriented in the direction of the ground. The arrangement is configured in such a that an antenna array constructed of transmitting and receiving antennas is configured as a rigid component group that is fixed to the flying body and is switched to act on a transmit/receive unit, or a transmit/receive unit composed of light source(s) and detectors and operating on an optical basis is configured as a rigid component group that is connected with the flying body and the detectors are switched to act on an evaluation unit.
