Target detecting and locating system

A system for detecting and locating a source of radiation in which an image orthicon tube, sensitive only to infrared emissions at the wavelength of the source, is scanned along first and second orthogonal axes and, upon sensing incoming radiation, generates a signal which is applied to an analog co...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system for detecting and locating a source of radiation in which an image orthicon tube, sensitive only to infrared emissions at the wavelength of the source, is scanned along first and second orthogonal axes and, upon sensing incoming radiation, generates a signal which is applied to an analog computer which analyzes the signal, determines the direction from which it came, and arms a suitable responding device, such as a weapon, at the source of radiation. Provision is made for storing signals from a plurality of radiation sources so that the responding device is aimed at each in sequence.
