Scientific paper

A classical technique for measuring range uses two telescopes separated on a baseline to allow their optical fields of view to be matched and the resulting parallax angle measured to yield range and azimuth. This technique has been transferred to a high speed signal processing system. Computer programs have been developed to calculate the range and azimuth of a target. Atmospheric effects, such as turbulence, contrast degradation, and forward scattering on a practical system are discussed along with adverse effects caused by vibrations. The feasibility of finding the range and azimuth of a target has been demonstrated over a range of 700 cm and 3.5 deg field of view for a wavelength of 632.8 nm and source power of 10 mW. Range and azimuth values acquired are accurate to within 5 percent. Similar results over longer ranges may be obtained.
