IMAGE SYSTEMATIC TRANSVERSE SHIFT COMPENSATOR Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01S17/00 G03B37/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: compensator, which is mounted in the focal unit of the telescope lens of an aircraft, having one or more electro-optical converters based on photosensitive charge-coupled devices (PCCD), is a sealed vessel filled with neutral gas in which the PCCD matrix and components of the electronic circuits for each electro-optical converter are arranged in a box structure with a flexible base, the degree of flexure and turning relative its axis of symmetry, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the compensator, of which is monitored and adjusted depending on the image capturing conditions. The flexible base has pairs of edges of smaller and longer length alternating on both its sides, said edges being a continuation of each other, and is rigidly attached on the axis of the central shaft mounted in the fastener assembly. Ends of the flexible base interact with a system of drives through a flexible perforated belt.

EFFECT: invention provides full compensation of optical image systematic transverse shifts.
