Abstract: Acquiring and illuminating a cooperative target with a laser beam from a remote source is disclosed. The process may be used for cooperative target tracking where the source/target are a ground station, an aircraft, UAV, drone, satellite, spacecraft, combinations thereof, etc. A laser beam can be rapidly and accurately pointed by an emitter source using a laser pointing system, such as a gimbal or other laser pointing device, for example. A differential GPS on the cooperative target detects its position and periodically sends this information either directly or indirectly to the laser emitter source. The cooperative target may also determine its attitude. The emitter source uses this information to keep the cooperative target illuminated with the laser beam. The system may be used for detection and tracking of atmospheric differential absorptions to detect, track, and mitigate atmospheric releases of global warming gases and toxic industrial chemicals, communication, surveying, lidar, etc.
