Patent ID: 7960675

Claim:
An unmanned missile which is configured to be uncoupled from an aircraft; wherein: the missile has a navigation and control device that includes a receiver for position determination signals, and controls flight of the missile based on said position determination signals; said receiver is electrically connected to a first antenna, which is mounted on board said missile, and collects said position determination signals; said receiver receives said position determination signals collected by the first antenna; the missile has an electrical signal input through which it is connected to the aircraft until it is uncoupled from the aircraft; and said aircraft has an antenna that also collects said position determination signals; prior to uncoupling from the aircraft, the missile is supplied by the aircraft, via said electrical signal input, with said position determination signals collected by said antenna on board said aircraft, whereby, upon uncoupling of said missile from said aircraft said navigation system has a lock-on to said position determination signals received via the electrical signal input, which lock-on is not interrupted by uncoupling of said electrical signal input from said aircraft.
