摘要

System used for protecting objects, especially combat tanks, comprises an all-round monitoring device for identifying and localizing threatening flying bodies and a launching device (14) for defense missiles which is directed toward an identified threatening body by the all-round monitoring device. An image-producing infra-red sensor (30) is attached to the launching device. The data produced on identification of the threatening body is used to correct the fire control computer and control fine locating devices finely adjusting the direction of the launching device. The infra-red sensor contains a non-cooled bolometer array detector and is covered before the launching device is triggered.
