    Abstract: A system includes one or more lasers, a collimator, and a controller. The one or more lasers are configured to generate laser illumination. The collimator is configured to adjust at least one of a degree of collimation, a divergence, and an intensity of the laser illumination and to direct the laser illumination towards one or more targets. The controller is configured to control the one or more lasers and the collimator in order to adjust the laser illumination directed at the one or more targets, and the controller is configured to control the one or more lasers and the collimator differently in different operating modes. Example operating modes could include a spotlight mode, a single-color dazzler or pulsating mode, a multi-color dazzler or pulsating mode, a communication mode, and an infrared-based operation mode.

    Abstract: According to one aspect, a sparse optical system is provided. The sparse optical system includes optical segments, an optical source module to generate beams of light, a collimating module to direct the beams of light towards two adjacent optical segments, a detector to receive a reflection of the beams of light from the optical segments, and a processor. The processor instructs the optical source module to generate a first beam of light, determines a first measurement of an alignment of the two adjacent segments based on the reflection of the first beam, adjusts a position of an optical segment based on the first measurement, instructs the optical source module to generate a second beam of light, and determines a second measurement of the alignment of the two segments based on the reflection of the second beam.

    Abstract: A gun-launched ballistically-stable spinning laser-guided munition is backward compatible with existing guns with rifled barrels as-deployed for unguided munitions of the same caliber, and will follow the same ballistic trajectory. This allows the laser-guided munitions to be used with the existing base of weapons systems and logistics. The munition comprises a plurality of explosive divert elements arranged around the bullet to produce a force vector through the center of mass (Cm) of the bullet, a SAL guidance system configured to measure a sequence of roll and nod angle pairs (or their equivalent) to the target, a processor configured to process the roll and nod angles to compute a firing solution for one or more of the divert elements to produce a force vector to laterally displace the bullet to drive the nod angle to a prescribed value and a fire controller configured, once its operational mode is initiated, to fire the one or more explosive divert elements according to the firing solution to laterally displace the bullet without affecting the bullet's angle of attack and destabilizing the bullet.
