ABSTRACT:
An aiming and guiding device for remote controlled, jet propelled projectiles. The device is arranged on an armor plating. The aiming portion of the device comprises a launching stand, and a guiding portion, which is azimuthally pivotally mounted in the armor plating, has an optical sight for picking up and tracking the target, as well as a position-finding apparatus which serves for the remote control of the projectile in the direction of the target and is fixedly assembled with the optical sight. Both of these parts of the guiding portion are accommodated in a single housing. The housing has an entry window for the optical axes of the sight and position-finding apparatus, which axes are oriented parallel to one another, as well as a common head mirror. After the projectile has been launched, the housing is movable independent of the launching stand. The head housing is arranged on the azimuthally pivotal support housing during the initial target approach of the projectile. The head housing is itself azimuthally pivotal relative to the support housing and has an entry window and a mirror, which is tiltable about a horizontal axis, for the optical axis (infrared sight axis) of the position-finding apparatus. Devices are provided by means of which the two optical sights are adjustable independent of one another and, in conformity with the angle between the infrared sight axis and the optical sight axis, such movements are initiated that this angle becomes zero.
