The demand for rocket launches of small satellites is dramatically increasing due to various types of space missions proposed for university research, national security, and economic activities.

Free-space optical (FSO) communication is a promising technology for high-speed data transmission, but its effectiveness is highly dependent on precise beam alignment. In this work, we present a ...

Perhaps the most precise method of guiding munitions to a target is with a laser device, ‘painting’ the target so that munitions can lock on and follow the beam. However, in order to do this, military ...

Perhaps optical tracking, LiDAR and laser targeting systems have evolved considerably since then. The team promoting the Photon Matrix product claims it incorporates "mandatory safety certification ...
