CA 2437374

The invention relates to an apparatus for combating targets (2) within an area to be monitored, comprising a ground-installed aimable launching device (7), a target acquisition device (5) connected to the launching device (7) and at least one missile (14) launchable from the launching device (7). In order to ensure a short reaction time of the apparatus (1) between reception of acoustic target-characteristic signals and launching of the missile (14), and to render the position of the launching and target acquisition devices (7, 5) of such an apparatus (1) incapable of being located, the invention proposes a target acquisition device (5) which determines the target direction of the target (2) to be combated solely by means of passive sensors (10). The missile (14) has a target-seeking homing head (15), so that after the launch in the target direction said homing head (15) autonomously seeks and destroys -the target (2), e.g. by means of an infrared sensor.

Dispositif pour combattre des objectifs (2) dans une zone surveillée, comprenant un dispositif de lancement au sol pouvant être pointé sur un objectif (7), un dispositif d'acquisition d'objectif (5) connecté au dispositif de lancement (7) et au moins un missile (14) pouvant être lancé avec le dispositif de lancement (7). Pour s'assurer que temps de réaction de l'appareil (1) entre la réception des signaux acoustiques de l'objectif et le lancement du missile (14) demeure bref, et pour que l'emplacement des dispositifs de lancement et d'acquisition d'objectif (7, 5) de l'appareil (1) ne puisse être détecté, un dispositif d'acquisition d'objectif (5) détermine la direction cible de l'objectif (2) ennemi au seul moyen de capteurs passifs (10). Le missile (14) est doté d'une tête chercheuse (15) qui, après lancement vers l'objectif, (15) détectera et détruira automatiquement l'objectif (2), par exemple au moyen d'un capteur infrarouge.
