ABSTRACT:
An improved beacon assembly 30 for use with a beacon 34 for providing radiant energy. The invention 30 includes a single plate 32 having an open interior to provide a frame through which the radiant energy from said beacon 34 may pass and apparatus 36 for mounting the plate 32 and the beacon 34 to the missile 10.
In a more specific embodiment, the plate 32 is constructed of aluminum and has arcuate inner 42 and outer 44 peripheries connected by substantially straight sections 46 and 48 to provide a pie shape with a pie shaped piece removed from the small end thereof to provide a frame through which the radiant energy from the beacon 34 may pass.
The improved beacon assembly of the present invention 30 affords a low cost lightweight retrofit of existing missiles with a thermal beacon 34.
