OPTOELECTRONIC TRACKING COORDINATOR Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: search for natural and man-made sources of optical radiation, selection from them of object of tracking and autotracking for operation both independently and in mix of airborne equipment. SUBSTANCE: optoelectronic tracking coordinator has stator presenting solenoid, rotor located inside turn of stator mounted in gimbal suspension and incorporating optical system put on permanent magnet. Optical system includes main mirror, correction lens, countermirrors, spectrum splitting filter installed between countermirror and correction lens and photodetectors placed in focal plane of optical system and formed by proper installation of spectrum splitting filter. Coordinator is supplemented with system of additional translation of countermirror in the form of kinematic link and two mandrels having shape of truncated cones for fixing of all elements in one system. Kinematic link is manufactured in the form of cam mechanism composed of cam anchored on gimbal suspension, probe mounted for turn about axis, tie-rod made fast with one end to probe and with other end - to one of mandrels and spring for forced closing of system " PROBE-CAM ". EFFECT: simplified design, increased reliability and expanded functional capabilities. 3 dwg
