Scientific paper

The SDI-related target acquisition, tracking, and pointing (ATP) system presently proposed for a neutral particle beam (NPB) weapon orbital platform involves both coarse and fine passive IR sensors coupled to a precise, active UV tracker that references the boresight, range, and target motion of a target to an NPB-pointing control system. Attention is given to ATP boresight calibration for closed-loop precision tracking with respect to a local body frame; once the target is acquired, the inertial frame is transitioned to the local body frame for tracking control, where a stable boresight alignment reference is maintained between the inertial and local body frame.
