ABSTRACT:
A method for homing a projectile onto a target wherein the projectile is self-steering in an extended trajectory in its flying end phase, in particular an artillery projectile, from which there is effected a search and homing onto a target. Also provided is an arrangement for the change of a projectile which is self-steering and program-controlled during its flight end phase and which is equipped with a target searching device, in particular an artillery projectile, which is equipped with control and steering arrangements and with control rudders for transition from a ballistic firing trajectory into an extended forward trajectory and then for homing into a target approach trajectory. An arrangement is also included for the input of the characteristics of a ballistic launch trajectory into the memory of a navigational computer on board of a projectile which is self-steering along an extended flight end phase.
