Optical Beam Jitter Control for the NPS HEL Beam Control Testbed

Abstract

In this paper, an optical beam jitter control method for the Naval Postgraduate School HEL beam control testbed is presented. Additional hardware is developed and integrated on the testbed to realize the strap-down IRU jitter compensation architectures. Feedforward control design of the strap-down IRU design is studied and tested on the testbed. An adaptive filtering method for narrow-field-of-view video tracker jitter correction is also presented.
