摘要
A beam control system capable of jitter stabilization and rapid slew angles for a 30 cm diameter clear aperture laser radar (LADAR) was developed and tested. It has achieved greater that 40 dB error rejection at low (approx. 1 Hz) frequencies and also attained low jitter levels. These attributes will enable the LADAR system pointing jitter error to achieve sub 10 mu rad levels in flight tests. Additionally, the fast slew rates will allow targets to be acquired quickly such that LADAR data collection can commence in a very short time following initial acquisition.
