METHOD OF REMOTE CONTROLLED COMBAT OF NEAR-SURFACE AND/OR SURFACE-BOUND TARGETS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for combating near-surface and/or surface targets such as tanks or the like by using a missile comprising a seeker hea d, an effective charge and at least one thruster. According to the invention, t he missile is redirected into an essentially horizontal cruising and seeking phase after completing an essentially vertical start phase. During said cruising and seeking phase, the missile scans the terrain ahead of it using the seeking head, whereupon an approaching phase which is directed in an essentially downward direction follows after the finally ensues head locks onto an identified target. An external reconnaissance system in an appropria te aircraft and/or spacecraft such as in a helicopter, a drone or in a satellit e receives information for guiding the missile which is transmitted to the sam e.
