Broadly the disclosure relates to a warhead positioner system which includes a warhead construction comprising a cylindrical missile section having a sector-shaped ordnance charge forming one quadrant thereof, means supporting said missile section for rotational movement about the longitudinal axis of the missile, torque motor means for controlling the rotational position, and means conducting electrical signals to said torque motor from an electric seeker head whereby the charge is positioned so as to be directed toward a desired target upon being detonated. Further, the electrical signal conducting means comprise digital-type circuitry responsive to the electric seeker head output for positioning the charge in one of four quadrants and further analog circuitry for positioning the charge in either half of the selected quadrant.
The present invention relates to a method for attacking a target by means of a missile (1) with at least one shaped charge, the direction of action of which differs from the direction of flight of the missile, and to a missile (1) comprising at least one shape charge (2) arranged to act in a direction (4) that differs from the direction of flight (5) of the missile. The shaped charge jet is corrected for the speed of the missile (1). According to the invention, the correction of the shaped charge jet is adjustable, whereby the lethality of the missile can be achieved within a wide range of speeds of the missile.
