Abstract:
A system includes at least one imaging sensor configured to capture images of a target. The system also includes at least one controller configured to generate super-resolution images of the target using the captured images and identify multiple edges of the target using the super-resolution images. The at least one controller is also configured to identify an aimpoint on the target based on the identified edges of the target. In addition, the at least one controller is configured to update the aimpoint on the target as the target moves over time. The system may further include a high-energy laser (HEL) configured to generate an HEL beam that is directed towards the target, and the at least one controller may be configured to adjust one or more optical devices to direct the HEL beam at the identified aimpoint on the target.
