An apparatus for detection of optical systems in a terrain area, has at least: a laser arrangement with a laser light source, a moving mirror for scanning the terrain area and a photoelement for detection of retroreflected laser radiation from the laser light source, a scan position sensor for detection of a scanning direction, and a controller for determination of the position of an optical system to be detected, from a measurement which is carried out by means of the laser arrangement by evaluation of the intensity of retroreflected laser radiation from an optical surface of the optical system, and evaluation of the associated scanning direction detected by the scan position sensor, with the controller having an electronic interface via which information relating at least to the intensity and the elevation of the detected retroreflected laser radiation can be transmitted to at least one display apparatus.
