Description

The problem of acquiring and tracking a distant terminal for long-range laser communications is defined and solutions suggested* Factors considered include the effects of the atmosphere, the transit time, and the inherent limitations of optical systems.

Various parametric tradeoffs can be made in the synthesis of a system capable of the required accuracies. Some of the parameters have basic, or inherent, limitations while others are limited by size, weight, or cost considerations. These parameters are defined and their magnitudes established.

Finally, various system components are examined and their necessary characteristics defined to provide guidelines for the future development of equipments capable of performing the required tasks.
