Abstract

A system for locating microwave radiation sources such as radar, jamming equipment and the like, employs a cannon launched shell including a frequency scanning receiver for the microwave emissions. Received information is processed on the shell and can derive signals that are used to modulate a telemetry transmitter. A ground base telemetry receiver associated with the launching cannon, includes means for processing the signals to derive the location of the microwave sources relative to the shell, and for processing information relating to the shell launch to determine its instantaneous position and attitude. The location of the sources relative to the launch site is then calculated and is used to aim the cannon and destroy the emission site.
