Abstract

A test facility, especially for the seeker or search heads of intelligent guided ammunition, including a target simulator for the reflection of a target signature through the intermediary of antenna elements towards the search head which is mounted on a turntable or rotary member with a flight simulator. Arranged between the target simulator and the search head is a quasi-optical coupling which follows the beam geometry by means of an imaging system and, on the one hand, the search head, as well as, on the other hand, the target simulator are located in or proximate to the applicable focal point of the resultingly produced path of transmission.
