Apparatus and method for determining the trajectory (86) of a supersonic projectile (87) of unknown velocity and direction having at least three spaced-apart sensors (80-82) capable of encountering a shock wave generated by a supersonic projectile (87) passing in the vicinity of the sensors (80-82) and capable of generating signals in response to the shock wave, which signals are related to an azimuth and elevation angle of a unit sighting vector from each sensor to an origin of the shock wave. Means are provided for calculating from the signals the azimuth and elevation angle of the unit sighting vector from each sensor (80-82) to the origin of the shock wave. Means are provided for calculating from the unit sighting vector of each of the three sensors (80-82), the azimuth and elevation angle of the local trajectory (86) of the projectile (87).

L'invention est constituée par un appareil et une méthode servant à déterminer la trajectoire (86) d'un projectile supersonique (87) de vitesse et de direction inconnues. L'appareil de l'invention comporte au minimum trois capteurs espacés (80-82) pouvant supporter l'onde de choc engendré par un projectile supersonique (87) passant à proximité et capable d'engendrer des signaux en réponse au passage de cette onde de choc, ces signaux représentant l'azimut et l'angle de site du vecteur unitaire de visée du point d'origine de l'onde de choc de chacun des capteurs. L'appareil comporte un dispositif qui utilise ces signaux pour calculer l'azimut et l'angle de site du vecteur unitaire de visée de l'origine de l'onde de choc de chacun des capteurs (80-82). Il comporte de plus un dispositif qui permet de calculer l'azimut et l'angle de site du projectile (87) sur sa trajectoire locale (86) à partir des vecteurs de visée unitaires de chacun des trois capteurs (80-82).
