TARGET ROCKET Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F42B8/24 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: proposed target rocket comprises radiolucent housing accommodating microwave power reflector, fragmentation hits pickups, and hits registrator. Microwave power reflector and fragmentation hits pickups are integrated into single unit consisting of several units of dielectric plates arranged in pairs in symmetry about target rocket lengthwise and crosswise axes to form right angles between said pairs. Note here that outer sides of said plates are completely metallised. Note also that opposite sides of the plates accommodate current conducting strips with pitch smaller than enemy rocket warhead fragmentation, while current conducting strip ends are connected with hits registration device. In particular case, units of dielectric plates are arranged consecutively along target rocket housing, while hits registration device is made up of interconnected power supply source, powder charge with electric igniter and relay switch acting via current conducting strips of dielectric plates.

EFFECT: simplified design of antiaircraft target missile, fast estimation of fire efficiency.
