Target detection and defence guidance device

A target detection and defence guidance device having passive opto/optronic target detection devices and defence units which are equipped with opto/optronic aiming devices and are coupled to one another such that, in a target tracking phase, the field of view of a defence unit aiming device is guided onto the target on the guidance beam (which continuously points at the target) of a target detection device and, in a target tracking phase, target track data (derived from the target aiming information items) and limit conditions for the use of the defence means are determined in real time.
