Abstract
A precision weapon aiming system used in conjunction with an optical radar for a weapon includes a pattern projector mounted to direct preselected optical pulses along the boresight of the weapon. A boresight receiver in the optical radar generates quadrature signals in response to radar returns reflected from the target. The azimuth and elevation of the weapon is varied until the magnitude of the quadrature signals are equal, thereby aligning the weapon boresight on the target.
