ABSTRACT:
An active (laser) and passive guidance system having a common sensor (siln-vidicon) for target acquisition, non-imaging seeker (four quadrant detector integrated with four single detectors, gyro optics, electronics), and aim-point correlator. In the passive mode, the pilot detects the target on the sensor's visual display; aligns the seeker with the target by aim-point correlation, and initiates seeker tracking. In the laser mode, the seeker acquires and tracks the target, the acquisition sensor scans the area, and its signals are correlated with the seeker four detector signals. The point of maximum correlation is indicated on the display of the acquisition seeker and shows the point of laser illumination and seeker tracking.
