ADAPTIVE CONTROL OF ANGULAR SPREAD RADIATIONS IN THE LASER LOCATION SISTEM
Adaptive control method of the laser beam angular divergence in a locating system is described, in which information on the inhomogeneities of the refractive index of the atmospheric path is used. Based on the determination of the jitter variance of the image gravity center of a space object, the optimal value of the angular divergence of the laser locating beam is determined, which provides the maximum value of the hit probability and sufficient signal energy at the locating object
