Abstract

See full text

A method for correcting a trajectory of a projectile is provided, in that a laser beam is guide or rotated around a center of the instantaneous target course of a projectile in such a way that the projectile itself detects a divergence thereof and subsequently carries our a selfcorrection. A first laser beam is emitted over a certain region around the target course of the projectile that can at about the same time initiate a start of a timing process. A further rotating laser beam having a fixed rotational frequency Ω can be simultaneously positioned around the region. Via the second laser beam, the projectile recognizes a divergence thereof from the target course and initiates a correction based on the determined divergence, whereby a magnitude thereof is then used to effect the timed initiation of the correction. Thus, delays in the release are implemented in the projectile.
