ABSTRACT:
A directional ordnance for a missile. The missile contains circuitry to determine the direction of a target relative to the missile and to selectively detonate directing charges to force the blast from the warhead towards the target. The circuitry for determining the direction of the target includes two transmit antennas, each transmitting a different pseudo noise sequence, and two receive antennas; each coupled to a receiver which can determine the level of each pseudo noise sequence at each receive antenna. The relative strengths of the different pseudo noise sequences tell the direction of the target relative to the transmit and receive antennas.
