ABSTRACT:
An electronically stabilizer tracking system is provided using a beam-steerable radiating array driven by parameters of motion of a body to which the array is mounted. In a specific application, the beam of a strapped down seeker is electronically gimballed to provide an inertially-stable observation platform. Potential instability caused by corrupted weapon-to-target angle information is therefore avoided. By using a fiber-optic gyro, the beam may be very accurately controlled to negate the guidance effects of body motion of the weapon.
