Method and device for programming a projectile

摘要

An inductive or capacitative programming of a projectile is disclosed. A waveguide is used for the programming, the electromagnetic field being concentrated in the waveguide. The used programming unit includes at least one waveguide which is preferable located and/or integrated in the region of the muzzle, for example in front of the muzzle brake. A transmission coupler for the transmission is fed by a signal generator. The information relating to the projectile is modulated to the carrier frequency in the modulator. A reception coupler integrated on/in the projectile is electrically interconnected to a store or processor in the projectile. The reception coupler receives the modulated signal and transmits it to the processor which is where the eventual programming takes place.

主权项

1. A method for programming a projectile during passage through a gun barrel and/or a muzzle brake, via a programming unit, the method comprising:
generating, via a signal generator, a carrier frequency that is adapted for the programming of the projectile; impressing the generated carrier frequency upon the projectile during the passage of the projectile through the gun barrel and/or the muzzle brake, wherein information for the programming has been modulated onto the carrier frequency; and performing the programming during passage through a waveguide that is operated below a cutoff frequency of the applicable waveguide mode.
