Abstract

A sensor arrangement for target-seeking ammunition which includes an insert for forming a hollow charge, and in front of which there is positioned a transducer for electromagnetic radiation energy. The sensor arrangement of the above-constructional type has the transducer located in the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the ammunition and of the insert. The insert forming the combat charge may itself serve as a focusing reflector for the operating characteristics of the sensor arrangement. Inasmuch as there is available for the aperture practically the entire caliber of the ammunition; in effect, the front surface of the insert facing into the effective direction, there can be obtained an extremely favorable operating characteristic for the sensor arrangement.
