ABSTRACT:
A proximity fuzing arrangement for an airborne body which is equipped with a reflective beam range-finding device. The path of the beam of the range-finding device extends through a point which is located eccentrically offset relative to and rotates about the longitudinal axis of the airborne body behind a collective or focusing optic, and which extends along a variable viewing angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the airborne body. The combination of a passive infrared-target tracking arrangement with an active-laser range-finding device behind the same large collective or focusing optic, is thereby especially suited for an increase in the power of a rapid air defense-airborne body against target objects which enter into the atmosphere in a steep ballistic trajectory and which are thereby intensely heated.
