Abstract
The invention relates to a weapon system intended for the structural destruction of a target. According to the invention, this system comprises computing means which are mounted on board said missile and which, from the values of the velocity Ve of the missile and of the relative target-missile velocity V.sub.R, as well as from the angle D between the longitudinal axis of the missile and said relative velocity V.sub.R, calculate at an instant close to said instant of detection furnished by proximity detection means, a duration which is then counted down by said computer means from said instant of detection and at the end of which said computer means control said focussed charge.
