Optical line of sight pointing and stabilization system

A system for stabilizing an optical line of sight comprising:

• an optical system including primary optics and relay optics;
• a jitter rejection mirror located in the path of said relay optics;
• a jitter reaction system for maintaining alignment of said jitter rejection mirror in response to a control signal;
• an auto alignment sensor for detecting jitter in a laser reflecting from said jitter rejection mirror, and generating a control signal for said jitter rejection system for reducing said jitter;
• and
• a stabilized source of reference laser which is received by said primary optics and relayed to said jitter rejection mirror and to said auto alignment sensor, whereby an optical system jitter error signal is produced for controlling said jitter rejection system.
