ABSTRACT:
Projectiles fired toward a target are provided with target tracking devices for automatic guidance. To improve accuracy of fire at least one projectile in a burst is provided with an illumination source which is activated by a target detector at the end of the projectile trajectory. The source selectively illuminates the target and its closest surroundings with radiation for which the target tracking device in other projectiles is sensitive. A following projectile corrects its trajectory toward the target. All projectiles in a burst can be provided with an illumination source which is activated at the end of the trajectory as a guidance aid for following projectiles.
