ABSTRACT:
A proximity fuse for a launchable unit, for example a missile, includes transmitters for emitting optic radiation in a plurality of narrow part lobes, and receivers for receiving optic radiation emitted through the part lobes and reflected from a target towards which the unit is homing in. The receivers are enabled to discern reflecting radiation derived from each respective part lobe from the radiation emitted and reflected from other part lobes. The radiation derived from each respective part lobe is processed individually in the receiver.
