Abstract
Abstract A PULSED LASER TRANSMITTER EMITS A SCANNING LASER BEAM. VISUAL DISPLAY MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR INDICATING THE ANGULAR POSITION OF THE BEAM WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSMITTER. CIRCUIT MEANS RESPONSIVE TO THE PRESENCE OF A PULSE BEAM INITIATES MEANS FOR PROVIDING AN INCREASING INTENSITY SIGNAL TO THE VISUAL DISPLAY MEANS. A RECEIVER DETECTS ECHO PULSES FROM TARGETS AND PROVIDES AN OUTPUT SIGNAL INDICATING THE PRESENCE OF THE PULSE. GATING MEANS RESPONSIVE TO THE RECEIVER OUTPUT SIGNAL LIMITS THE IN TENSELY DISPLAYED. THE DISPLAYED PATTERN WILL THEN CONTAIN POSITION AND RANGE INFORMATION. THE POSITION OF THE PATTERN ON THE VISUAL DISPLAY MEANS IS A FUNCTION OF THE ANGULAR POSITION OF THE LASER BEAM AND THE INTENSITY OF THE PATTERN IS A FUNCTION OF THE RANGE BETWEEN THE LASER TRANSMITTER AND A TARGET FROM WHICH THE ECHO PULSE HAS EMANATED.
