ABSTRACT:
A fuse for an antiballistic missile including a generator of two conical beams, each directed at a different, predetermined angle to the missile axis and including a plurality of range gates. A signal processor senses target intercept with the beams and range gates and calculates target miss distance and crossing angle. The fuse includes circuitry to detonate selected detonators for generating a fragment pattern directed toward the sensed target position.
