JET MISSILE TARGET SENSOR Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F42C13/02 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: jet missile target sensor comprises electronic unit and transceiving channels. Optical axes of said source and receiver that make transceiving channel are directed at ≤90° shell lengthwise axis and shifted relative to each other. Primarily, in parallel or, in fact, in parallel. Note here that transceiving channels are arranged around missile lengthwise axis. Preferably in plane perpendicular to its lengthwise axis. This angle makes light beams of radiators not intersecting and spacing between beams of adjacent radiating channels equal or approximate to minimum size of slot. Optical radiator and photo receiver are connected with electronic unit to perform time-pulse analysis of range to target.

EFFECT: higher probability of target detection and guidance, better protection against optical and small size interferences, decreased weight and overall dimensions.
