Abstract: An optical system for laser-pointing a target through the atmosphere, with four optical channels: a passive imaging channel with an auxiliary camera linked to a coarse pointing control device; an illumination channel with a pulsed illumination source and temporal synchronization means, these channels including a first common optical coarse pointing device; an effector channel with a high-power laser source; an active imaging channel with: a high-speed camera synchronized with the illumination source by the synchronization means, and linked to a fine pointing control device; means for harmonizing the high-speed camera with the high-power laser source; the active imaging and effector channels form a pair and include a second common optical coarse pointing device, the coarse pointing devices controlled by the coarse pointing control device; a common optical fine pointing device, controlled by the fine pointing control device; and the coarse pointing control device is linked to the fine pointing control device.

Abstract: An omnidirectional optronic system includes two axes of rotation, a carrier axis and a carried axis, that are perpendicular to each other, for an aircraft targeting pod, having an imaging channel and a laser channel, the laser channel at the point of injection at the entrance of the system and the imaging channel being concentric with the carrier axis, then split and emitted out in parallel.
