Abstract: An axisymmetric dome (28) located between a radiation emitting target (14) and a radiation sensor (10) has an outer surface area (33) where a principal ray (16) from the target (14) impinges on the dome (28) that is parallel to the dome inner surface area (31) where the principal ray leaves the dome. This dome construction reduces image aberration in the pitch plane (Y, Z'). For correction aberration in the roll plane, a focusing reflector (31) is constructed of a piezo-electric plate (32) with a plurality of spaced apart electrodes (38) on its non-reflective surface, which reflector (31) reflects radiation from the target (14) onto a secondary reflector (20) which, in turn, reflects the radiation onto the sensor (10). Selective electrical energization of the electrodes (38) modifies the reflector (31) shape to correct roll plane aberration.

Abstract: A fiber optic radar guided missile system 10 is disclosed which includes a radar receiver 12 disposed in a missile for receiving radar reflections and providing a first optical signal in response thereto. An optical receiver 14 is disposed at a launcher for receiving the first optical signal and for providing a set of electrical signals in response thereto. A fiber optic link 32 is connected between the missile and the launcher for communicating the first optical signal from the radar receiver 12 to the optical receiver 14.In a specific embodiment, the invention 10 includes a first system 12 disposed in a missile for receiving radar reflections which includes only an antenna 16 for receiving radar reflections, a radar seeker 18 for providing a first electrical in response to the received radar reflections, and a first fiber optic transmitter 26 for converting the first electrical signal into a first optical signal.
