Abstract
An optical guidance device comprises an entry lens of which the optical axis merges with the axis of rotation of the missile, a filiform infrared detector, sensitive to the infrared radiation of a target, is placed in the focal plane of the lens. The detector is intersected at least twice by circles centered on the axis of rotation of the missile. A circuit elaborates deviation information from the output signals from the detector. Steering means are provided for correcting the path of the missile from the deviation information.
