ABSTRACT:
An advanced individual combat weapon system provides a means of delivering a small warhead fired from a combat rifle over a range of at least 1200 meters with great accuracy and without a violent back blast. The delivery system is a small fin-stabilized, laser-guided solid propellant rocket with an integral control system for ignition and in-flight correction to the desired target. The target is acquired and illuminated by an infrared laser spot generated from a laser illuminator combined with an optical rangefinder mounted on the rifle. The firing of a small booster cartridge launches the rocket from a launch tube. The control system senses the reflected laser energy of the correct wavelength and corrects the flight based on the directional intensity of the reflected laser energy directed to the target.
