ABSTRACT:
A high precision laser radar tracking system is described. Targets which can be tracked include diffuse passive targets, specular passive targets and optical transponders. The base section of the system is fixed relative to the upper section which can rotate through 360.degree.. The lower section has a laser beam generator, optical signal detector system with a beam splitter/reflector and the upper section has three moveable reflectors one of which acts as a trackable, transmitter/receiver aperture. The system of the invention incorporates techniques utilizing the advantages that emanate from the combination of a laser system and an optical radar system.
