Abstract

An anti-tank trap (1) is constituted by a support (2), a military payload (3), an igniter (4) and a sight (5). The firing on the target is carried out at the time td in a plane Δ. The invention is characterized by the following chronological series of stages: first detection by FM/CW radar (lobes 11) and establishment of a first map ERAref, second infra-red detection (IR) at t2 (plane V or V'), third IR detection at t1 (plane U or U'), computation of: t1 -t2 and of the angular velocity dγ/dt of the target, fourth detection by FM/CW radar (ERAm), measurement of the range dc and of the size of the target (ERAm -ERAref), analysis of the target, firing decision, computation of td and triggering at td of the military payload. Application to an anti-tank trap.
