ABSTRACT:
A multi-mode seeker which comprises a stationary antenna and electronic circuitry responsive to signals received by the antenna to cause the antenna to scan a field of view determined by the signals received by the antenna. The seeker has a nose region positioned at the forward portion thereof and an adjunct sensor disposed in the nose region ahead of the antenna. The electronic circuitry includes circuitry for performing a Sum/Delta monopulse processing technique on the signals received by the antenna the Sum/Delta monopulse processing including calculating each of a standard Sum signal, Delta-Azimuth signal and Delta-Elevation signal. The seeker has a boresight axis, the center of the field of view being off boresight, in general. The seeker has a field of regard, the field of regard having plural sectors, each of the sectors having separate predefined compensation.
