Patent ID: 8610776

Claim:
A system for laser target designation and/or illumination in a scene, that is adapted to be attached to an aircraft, and to be oriented in an instantaneous field greater than 60° in which a line of sight LV is centered, said system comprising: at least one telemetry and/or target designation and/or illumination laser; at least one optical channel fitted with a matrix sensor forming an image of the scene, each image corresponding to the instantaneous field centered around the line of sight LV, and fitted with a device for deflecting the line of sight LV at a determined speed Vd so as to carry out a scan in order to perform a laser target designation and illumination function; and an additional device for deflecting the line of sight LV at a speed Vr so as to carry out a counter-scan in order to perform an air reconnaissance function, wherein the additional device comprises an optical deflecting element for deflecting the line of sight LV and a device for moving the optical deflecting element at the speed Vr.
