ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for generating a firing or triggering signal for a projectile which is conveyed in a flying body overflying a target, wherein a target identifying circuit requires a processing period for the identification of a detected target pursuant to predetermined characteristics, and in which, subsequent to a waiting period dependent upon the flying altitude, there occurs a delay or lag period between the initiation of the firing signal and the ejection or, respectively, target impact of the projectile. For the target determination, an optical sensor arrangement is directed at a first acute angle relative to the flight trajectory of the flying body; wth this angle being so calculated that at a minimum flying altitude of the flying altitude of the flying body, the flying time from the target determination up to the overflight of a certical above the target is at least equal to the sum of the processing period and the delay or lag period, and in which the sensor arrangement is set a second acute angle which is larger than the first angle after the identification of a selected target, and which takes into consideration the delay period and the flying altitude.
