Aerial vehicle imaging and targeting system

The subject disclosure relates to a tracking system to mount to an aircraft and to image and track a target aircraft. The tracking system may include a structured light source 304 operatively coupled to a processor 308, 402a, 802, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) 224c operatively coupled with the processor, a mirror 306 to steer light from the light source toward the target aircraft, and a stereo-vision system having a first camera and a second camera. The IMU may be configured to generate position data representing a position of the aircraft. The stereo-vision system may be operatively coupled to the processor and configured to determine a 3D position of the target aircraft as a function of the position data. The processor may be configured to adjust the mirror position as a function of a mirror position. 4foos C)N 0- NJ N 3Q N3 S Ei 4
