Abstract
An antitank weapon system is shown to include a projectile carrying at least one pulsed laser radar which periodically illuminates swaths of the underlying terrain, means for processing return signals to distinguish between the radar signatures of objects on such terrain and means for firing submunitions to impact on any object whose radar signature corresponds to that of a tank or other desired target.
