<p>A proximity fuzing system includes a passive proximity detection section (29) including an electrostatic probe (24) for detecting initial missile entry into the electric field inherently associated with an airborne target. Probe signals are processed (30) to determine that the intercepted electric field is characteristic of a valid target, and, if so, an active proximity detection section (39), such as a radar proximity detector, is rendered operational to trigger a warhead detonator (36) at the optimum point in the missile's engaging trajectory to inflict maximum possible damage on the target.</p> |
