ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is improved sensor apparatus for guidance systems, and the sensor apparatus includes means for receiving light reflected from a target and for processing this light to provide steering signals to the missile guidance and control mechanism; more specifically, the sensor apparatus includes means for receiving a single pulse of light reflected from the target and for forming a two-dimensional image therefrom, quantizing the data from the image, and re-forming the quantized data into a straight-line image from which a time-dependent signal is generated to be input to the missile control mechanism.
