Abstract

Arrangement for a terminally guided projectile provided with a target seeking arrangement and path correction arrangement. The arrangement includes a preferably fin-stabilized, slowly-rotating artillery shell which is provided with an elongated cavity into which the terminally guided projectile, which comprises a fin-stabilized mortar projectile, is introduced. The mortar projectile is arranged so that it is ejected rearwards from the artillery shell by means of a separation charge in the vicinity of a selected target, after which the mortar projectile is terminally guided towards the target in a manner known per se.
