Abstract

Tactical missiles have seeker capability to detect and tract targets. Because of the seekers’ field of view, detonation range of the missiles has a limit. Mostly this limit is far away from the desired distance since seeker’s blind spot. To increase missile’s effectiveness against target, laser proximity sensor is used. Where the seeker’s blind spot distance is arrived, the proximity sensor will be used until its minimum distance limits. In this study, missile parameters are assumed and minimum detonation distance for seeker will be found. Effectiveness of warhead at this distance will be calculated. Later parameters of proximity sensor are determined. Optical design and modeling of the proximity sensor will be conducted and minimum distance of it will be determined. Warhead effectiveness of this minimum distance will be given. Finally, both results will be compared with each other.
