Abstract: A single receiving aperture used, for example, in an airborne seeker system collects energy for three discrete energy sensors/receivers including a laser spot tracker, an RF (millimeter wave) transmitter/receiver, and an infrared detector. The RF transmitter/receiver is located at the focus of a primary reflector located on a gimbal assembly. A selectively coated dichroic element is located in the path of the millimeter wave energy which reflects infrared energy from the primary reflector to an optical system which re-images the infrared energy on the infrared detector. The outer edge or rim of the primary reflector is deformed so that the incoming laser energy focuses to a location beyond the RF transmitter/receiver. The laser sensor is positioned adjacent the RF transmitter/receiver at this location in a back-to-back orientation. The laser energy is then detected using a secondary reflector and an optical system which directs the laser energy from the secondary reflector to a laser detector.

Abstract: An image motion compensation arrangement for a TV sensor system having an image intensifier section and a camera tube section, and which moves at a velocity V over a target area at an altitude H. An electron image of the viewed scene is accelerated between electrodes in the image intensifier section and a deflection coil is added to deflect this electron image. The coil is provided with a signal such that the deflection velocity is proportional to the ratio of V/H. With automatic light control provided, the deflection signal is also made a function of a control signal which controls a high voltage power supply to the accelerating electrodes.

Abstract: An activation and deactivation circuit is provided for a security alarm system and includes selector means for selecting a predetermined coded number for enabling and disabling the alarm system. A coded circuit is responsive to the predetermined code from the selector to produce a control signal for enabling the alarm circuit when disabled and disabling the alarm circuit when enabled. Should an error in the predetermined coded number be detected, it is registered in a memory circuit and a second error will activate the alarm, thereby indicating tampering by unauthorized personnel.
