Common aperture technique for imaging electro-optical sensors
Abstract
This paper describes the CATIES targeting and weapon delivery system. CATIES incorporates a Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) system, an Active Television (ATV) and a laser designator/ranger (LDR). CATIES utilizes a single gimbal for pointing and stabilization and a broadband zinc selenide (ZnSe) window. Included is an overview of the technology developments and rationale that have been the impetus for CATIES.
