In a guiding device, a communication device receives a signal containing detection data of a target, and a processing unit. In the processing unit, a course setting section sets a flight course for a lofted flight based on the detection data, and a guiding section determines a progressing direction based on the flight course and outputs a guidance signal containing the progressing direction. The course setting section sets a first flight course when the flying object is launched. Also, the course setting section changes the first flight course to a second flight course based on the detection data after launching of the flying object.

A proximity sensor for a Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) is provided. A proximity sensor for a Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) includes: an electronics package unit (EPU) configured to be connected to a front end of a warhead; and at least one sensor separate from the EPU and configured to be connected to a forward adapter that is connected to the front end of the warhead. The at least one sensor is configured to obtain data that is used to determine a height above ground of the LGB. The EPU is configured to compare the determined height above ground to a predefined value. The EPU is configured to generate a detonation signal for the warhead based on the determined height above ground being equal to or less than the predefined value.

A target assignment system,includes a sensor system which detects a position, of a moving vehicle, an assigning section which determines the launcher system assigned with the moving vehicle in response to the position of the moving vehicle and generates a first display signal which shows the moving vehicle and a first launcher system, a display section which displays the moving vehicle and the assigned launcher system in real time in response to the display signal, and an input section which instructs a change of the assigned launcher system. The assigning section generates a second display signal in which the first launcher system is changed to a second launcher system, in response to an instruction of assignment change.

A method of targeting a missile. A plurality of images of a target, taken from a plurality of viewpoints, are received. Features in the images characteristic of the target are identified. Data representing the characteristic features are provided to the missile to enable the missile to identify, using the characteristic features, the target in images of the environment of the missile obtained from an imager included in the missile.

An optical system and method comprising refracting light with a pair of Risley prisms and employing a line-of-sight control unit to adjust the pair.

The present invention relates to a semi-active laser seeker head for miniature, laser-guided missile systems comprising a housing (20) limiting an inner chamber (23); a lens element (40) that is seated in a gap (26) of the housing (20) reaching the inner chamber (23) so as to receive electromagnetic radiation. The laser seeker head comprises; a body (44) that has a convex surface (42) on which the lens element (40) gets completely seated in a gap (26) on one hand and that extends into the inner chamber (23) on the other hand; and a filter (52) that directly receives the electromagnetic radiation, which is focused by the convex surface (42), from the body (44) that lies before and selectively transfers it to a multi-channel sensor (56) arranged at the rear portion thereof based on a predetermined wavelength threshold.

An apparatus includes at least one memory configured to store map data. The apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to segment one or more objects from one or more environment surfaces in the map data. The at least one processor is also configured to determine an offset based on a projectile drift. The at least one processor is further configured to generate a safety bounding box around each of the one or more objects using the offset.
