A guided missile which can be fired as a mortar projectile with armour-piercing hollow-charge warhead behind a seeking head for autonomous or semi-autonomous final phase guidance is to be capable of use for universal use from the same mortar weapon selectively against hard-armoured targets and against concreted protective constructions. For that purpose provided in front of the blast-forming main hollow charge is a boring hollow charge which is also blast-forming but slower and of higher mass and which, in the event of impact against a target, clears in a region-wise manner the reactive additional armouring of an armoured vehicle or penetrates the concrete wall of a protection arrangement. Upon impact against the target, a sub-calibre post-firing fragmentation explosive charge is released due to inertia from its holder in order to detonate after passing through the hole in the concrete wall therebehind or in the event of impact against a hard target to produce secondary effects against sensor elements. The post-firing charge can be held behind the main hollow charge. If the space between the two hollow charges is not required for receiving folding vanes during launching of the projectile from a mortar tube, the post-firing charge can also be arranged in front of the main hollow charge in order to reduce the distance to the hole in the concrete wall and thereby to increase the reliability in terms of entry into same.

[ I claim:] [1.] A guided missile consisting of a mortar projectile for crisis reaction forces utilized against varied types of target including concrete shelters and hard-armored vehicles, comprising: a bottle-shaped tail end including a mortar propellant charge; a forward end including a target-seeking head; overcaliber-sized extendable tail end rudders including a control system for guidance towards a target; centrally arranged overcaliber-sized extendable glide vanes for increasing the range of flight of said missile; a forward hollow charge located rearwardly of the seeking head and a boring charge insert for the forming of a compact jet; a main hollow charge including a cutting charge-insert being arranged therebehind for the forming of an extended jet; a holder for a subcaliber-sized secondary-effect follow-up charge which is axially forwardly acceleratable responsive to a delay caused by impact against a target, including a time-delayed fuze for an explosive and fragmentation effect after penetration through a hole formed in a concrete plate by the boring charge insert; wherein the holder for the subcalibersized follow-up charge is arranged rearwardly of the cutting charge-insert.
