ABSTRACT:
A laser-optical navigation method and apparatus are provided for rotationally emitting a pulsed beam of light from a transmitter/sensor unit mounted on a vehicle. Ground mounted reflectors in the path of the emitted light reflect the light back to the transmitter/sensor unit, which converts the reflected light to electrical signals. Attitude angles and other directional and locational information are computed from these signals, which may be used to navigate the vehicle.
