ABSTRACT:
The invention is a simple but efficient position and velocity identifying system to low-flying objects especially cruising missiles. Through a system of prism-complexes, the beams lased by four lasers (preferably injection lasers) are split into systems of orthogonally intersecting beam-quadruplets in parallel lying on the horizontal plane, each of which impinges a light-sensor-quadruplet. The curved air equidensity surfaces around the wings or the shock waves generated by a low-flying object passing by deflect a beam-quadruplet, such that the sensors of a light-sensor-quadruplet switch sequentially. The transient between the switchings, converted into a count, together with the sensor-quadruplet-address generated in an associated electronic circuit, are transmitted via a common multiple to a console where the count is converted into velocity there.
