Abstract

An arrangement for the contactless transmission of electrical energy to a missile during the firing thereof from a firing device including a transformer-like coil system having a primary coil system connected to the firing device and a secondary coil system connected to the missile. The primary coil system is supplied with electric energy and the secondary coil system is responsive to the electric energy developed in the primary coil system for developing electrical energy therein. A partition is arranged between the primary coil system and the secondary coil system and is formed of a nonmagnetic material capable of withstanding thermal and mechanical stresses of repeated firings by the firing device. The partition is fixedly connected with the firing device and disposed for sealing the primary coil system with respect to the missile at least during the firing of the missile from the firing device.
