ABSTRACT:
Boresighting of an outgoing first laser beam axis to an imaging sensor reference axis is described by aligning a second laser beam axis, which is in fixed relation to the first laser beam axis, to an electromagnetic source reference beam axis and detecting the angular displacement between the second laser beam and the reference beam axes. The sensor reference axis is in fixed relationship to the reference beam axis. Error signals are generated by the detector which are proportional to the angular displacement and are utilized to correct the angular displacement to align the second laser beam and the reference beam axes. When the first laser beam is boresighted to the sensor reference axis, the image of the reference beam source in the sensor display will represent the target object to which the outgoing first laser beam is directed.
