TLDR
In this paper, at the point (F) common to the approach trajectory (T) and to the interception trajectory (t) of the said defense missile (2), the said interception trajectory is transversal to the approaching trajectory, and the central axis of the homing head of the defense missile is inclined laterally with respect to the axis of a fixed control installation.Abstract:
Air defense system capable of intercepting high-speed airborne missiles (3), including a fixed control installation (1) and defense missiles (2). According to the present invention: at the point (F) common to the approach trajectory (T) of the said airborne missile (3) and to the interception trajectory (t) of the said defense missile (2), the said interception trajectory is transversal to the approach trajectory; the central axis of the homing head of the defense missile (2) is inclined laterally with respect to the axis of the said defense missile (2); and the said defense missile (2) is roll-stabilized, so that the said central axis of the said homing head is arranged on the side of the said airborne missile (3).read more

Countermeasure apparatus for deploying interceptor elements from a spin stabilized rocket
David P. Smith,Jane M. Lin +1 more
Abstract: There is provided a countermeasure defense system against hostile missiles by employing non-explosive intercepting (“NEI”) elements 14 deployed by the spin stabilized rocket 10 . The NEI are carried in a payload section 17 and contained by a sleeve assembly 16 which is removed by a drive mechanism 20 or a pyrotechnic device 152 after a countdown time delay programmed into the trigger release assembly 46 as controlled by the control unit 150 . The drive assembly includes a drive rod 26 that is releasably held by a release assembly 46 a compressed coiled spring unit 30 drives the sleeve assembly 16 forward exposing the payload section 17 to the centrifugal force of the spin stabilized rocket propelling the NEI elements out from the rocket at constant angular velocity creating an interceptor cloud of elements. In another embodiment the pyrotechnic device 152 detaches the shearable screws 170 that secure the payload section 117 from the rocket engine housing 102 thereby setting the sleeve 121 free from the rocket housing 102.
Patent
Radar device for object self-protection
TL;DR: In this paper, a planar antenna is arranged on the base of a busting shell (BS) to transmit information regarding the target assigned to a tracking radar (19) integrated into the launcher (15), in order to guide the launcher towards the approach of the incoming target.

Antiballistic missile fuze
TL;DR: A fuse for an antiballistic missile including a generator of two conical beams, each directed at a different angle to the missile axis and including a plurality of range gates is described in this article.
Patent
Wide angle seeker
TL;DR: In this paper, a wide angle seeker for missile guidance systems and the like is described, which allows a missile sensor to be mounted in a stationary position in the missile body remote from the seeker.
Patent
Time to intercept measuring apparatus
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus mounted in an intercept or seeker missile for computing during the flight of an interceptor toward a target, such as another or target missile, a continuous estimate of the "time to go" to the point of closest approach of the interceptor to the target and producing a control signal which varies in accordance with the time to go.
Patent
Optical imaging system including generally conical, transparent protective dome and optically refractive fixed corrector for reversing conical deformation created by viewing through the dome
TL;DR: In this article, a camera is mounted on a gimbal inside a missile and views forwardly through a transparent, generally conical front dome or ogive, for integral movement therewith.
