METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF PROXIMITY FUSE-RANGE AT TESTS OF GUIDED MISSILE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F42C21/00 

FIELD: tests of high-accuracy guided missiles and projectiles with warheads equipped with proximity target range sensors acting on ground, surface and air targets.

SUBSTANCE: the method consists in formation of the lay-out of targets with a target simulator, sheet-marker and non-pierceable target, projectile launch to the preset point of the target simulator, registration of the projectile motion process and fuse action, as well as determination of the position of the blasting charge center at the instant of its action by plotting the surface traced through the face of the non-pierceable target and the shadings of the holes nearest to the boundary and pierced by fragments in the sheet-marker. The non-pierceable target is placed relative to the sheet-marker for formation of the shading area on its surface, whose boundary contains at least three non-parallel sections, the fuse range is determined by the length of the section of the straight line laid in the direction of the maximum of the proximity fuse sensitivity diagram from the blast center of the warhead taking into account the position of the radiating and receiving devices of the proximity target range sensor.

EFFECT: provided determination of the proximity fuse-range at tests of the guided projectile equipped with a standard warhead on the target without formation of a destruction crater on the target surface.
