Abstract
A method for boresighting of a designation system, including a tracker responsive to a detector with reference to an indicator, including the step of directing a beam of light at a target, using a light source, so that the beam of light is reflected from a spot on the target while a temperature of the spot remains substantially constant. The method further includes focusing at least part of the reflected light as an image on the detector and determining a misalignment of the indicator and the image.
Claims6
A method for boresighting of a designation system, including a tracker responsive to a detector, comprising the steps of:
- (a) directing a beam of light at a target, using a light source, so that said beam of light is reflected from a spot on said target while a temperature of said target at said spot remains substantially constant and unchanged from what said temperature was prior to said directing of said beam of light at said target;
- (b) focusing at least part of said reflected light as an image on the detector;
- and
- (c) determining a misalignment of an indicator encoded in the tracker and said image.
