ABSTRACT:
A triggering system that provides for fusing a self-forging warhead or ot warhead to fire down on a target as the vehicle carrying the warhead flys horizontal by just over the top of the target. The triggering method uses an active optical system (transmitter-receiver) on board the vehicle which establishes a triggering window in space just below the vehicle. A triggering or detonating signal is developed when a target enters the window.
