More Information
Summary:An anti-tank missile system includes a weapons carrier system with a missile including control means for controlling the missile flight path and a searchhead camera for developing target data during flight of the missile. An elevatable platform is mounted on the weapons carrier system and a sighting device camera is disposed on the elevatable platform for sighting a target. Target data is compiled before a launch of the missile with the aid of the sighting device camera. A fire guidance computer in the weapons carrier system calculates a flight course for the missile. A light waveguide is connected between the missile and the weapons carrier system for transmitting target data developed by the searchhead camera for use by the fire guidance computer and for transmitting guidance signals generated by the fire guidance computer for controlling the control means for guiding the missile during its flight; and wherein the sighting device camera is a high resolution camera and the searchhead camera has at least one of a lower resolution and different spectral range than the sighting device camera.
