Abstract
A turret device mounted on a housing is used to project a laser output beam and aim it in elevation and azimuth. The turret device includes a rotatable enclosure having an optical cavity for transmitting a laser beam therethrough and out a cutout to a target. Means are provided to operate the turret in azimuth and elevation. One control moves a turret platform to obtain an azimuth movement of the beam while the other moves a rotatable mirror to obtain an elevation movement of the beam. A laser device directs a laser beam from within a housing through the rotating part of the turret into the enclosure from which it follows the path set forth above.
