Abstract
A projectile having a light-settable photodetector assembly, in the form of a plurality of photovoltaic cell units mounted internally of the projectile, with corresponding respective light passageways, formed preferably by optical fibers, connecting between the exterior of the projectile and the photocell units. Circumferential angular position indexing means is provided on the projectile for index location of an external light source setting device therewith. Each photodetector also electrically connects with an electrical signal storage unit, in the form of a capacitor, which is activated by light acting on the photodetector, thereby enabling inputting and storage of a selected composite digital signal.
