Abstract
A jitter sensing mechanism for a gimbaled optical sensor system. In one example, the jitter sensing mechanism includes a faceted retro-mirror configured to allow a double-pass line-of-sight monitoring beam to sense line-of-sight jitter in a multi-axis gimbaled optical sensor system where the inner-most gimbal axis includes a 2:1 gain mirror.
