ABSTRACT:
A radar sensor mounted in a projectile detects a target and orients the projectile so that a self-forging fragment, carried in the projectile, may be properly fired toward the top of the target. The sensor provides means for generating a broad fan beam containing a plurality of closely spaced interference lobes spaced so as to encompass a predetermined target size. The interference lobes are continuously swept across the line of travel and the receiving circuitry provides means for detecting the desired target within the interference lobes.
