Integrated multi-spectral boresight target generator

An integrated multi-spectral target generator for use with electro-optical systems that comprise visible and infrared sensors and a laser designator. A pinhole is illuminated with a multiband source to produce a single visible and infrared target which is detected by visible and infrared sensors. A pair of beamsplitters and an associated corner reflector precisely define the parallelism of the visible and infrared radiation transmitted from the multiband source along an optical axis. A reflective telescope is used to project the visible radiation to the visible sensor and the infrared radiation, in conjunction with a periscope, to the infrared sensor. The target generator does not require precision stabilization and uses a single inherently parallel path to generate visible and infrared boresight targets. The target generator enables a boresight procedure to be completed in about ten seconds without firing the laser designator.
