Programmable ballistic missile firing point control has voltage generator, detonator and program interface, microprocessor and delay circuitry built into missile

摘要

A ballistic missile has a circuit built into the tip that determines the firing point relative to a target. This has a voltage generator (5), a detonator interface (9), and a microprocessor (10). This operates together with a firing and delay circuit (6,7,8) in the base of the missile. Three lines (1,2,3) connect the units.
