Attorney, Agent or Firm: Jacobs & Jacobs
A method for masking on the display device associated with a thermal telescope for the night guidance of self-propelled missiles carrying an infrared source, the image of a source of relatively intense stray radiations, wherein, on the one hand, the radiations transmitted in the field of vision of the thermal telescope are simultaneously detected in two different spectral bands, of which the one, called the useful band, corresponds to the maximum radiations from the target and the surrounding landscape, and the other one, called stray band, corresponds to the maximum radiations from the intense infrared sources carried or not by the missile, and on the other hand the signal detected in the first band is corrected by the signal detected in the second band in a manner to leave out the stray portions of the useful signal. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What I claim is: 1.
A thermal telescope having a display device associated therewith for the night guidance of a self-propelled missile carrying an infrared tracer towards a target, comprising first detection means sensitive to infrared energy in a first spectral range corresponding to the maximum radiation from the target and the environment thereof, second detection means sensitive to infrared energy in a second spectral range corresponding to the maximum radiation from the tracer, first circuit means connected to the output of said first detection means, second circuit means connected to the output of said second detection means and including means for deriving from the signal from said second detection means a square waveform of same duration, and gate means receiving the output of said first circuit means and having its control input connected to the output of said second circuit means and its output connected to said display device.
2.
A thermal telescope according to claim 1, wherein the circuit means connected to one of said detection means includes means for delaying the conveyed signal by a time lag equal to the time elapsed between the instants at which the energy from one and the same portion of the field of view is detected by said one detection means and by the other detection means.
3.
A thermal telescope having a display device associated therewith for the night guidance of a self-propelled missile carrying an infrared tracer towards a target, comprising first detection means sensitive to infrared energy in a first spectral range corresponding to the maximum radiation from the target and the environment thereof, second detection means sensitive to infrared energy in a second spectral range corresponding to the maximum radiation from the tracer, first circuit means connected to the output of said first detection means, second circuit means connected to the output of said second detection means and means for subtracting the output of said second circuit means from the output of said first circuit means, said subtractor means having its output connected to said display device
