Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical detection system integrated within an electro-optical sighting and/or scanning system and a method to perform a rapid wide area search are disclosed. In one example, an integrated optics detection subsystem is configured with one-the-move processing methods to perform the optics defeat functions to during a wide area search or sector scan performed by the host electro-optical sighting system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electro-optical (EO) sighting system, including an integrated optics detection (OD) sub-system, comprising: an EO optical module configured to scan and search a target area remote from the optical module, the EO optical module including: a multi-function laser configured to generate and emit at least one laser beam external to the optical module to search the target area; an imager sub-system configured to receive reflected laser radiation from the ta…
