Line of Sight Stabilization for Directed Energy Systems

Bryan Kelchner, VP of Engineering at Teknicare, Inc., a company that specializes in directed-energy (DE) systems engineering, design, development, integration, and testing of beam control and laser systems for DoD; Victor Beazel, Senior Dynamics and Controls Engineer at Teknicare; and Steven Griffin, Boeing Senior Technical Fellow will talk about challenges of airborne and space-based high-energy laser systems’ line-of-sight control.

This authors seminar addresses DE precision-pointing requirements and their associated implementation alternatives in the context of strapdown and stable platform inertial reference technologies.

This seminar is based on the article linked above as the Featured Publication, published in the AIAA Journal. For those who are interested in DE, please also visit our virtual collection on “Directed Energy for Aerospace Applications” .
