摘要： An automatic celestial navigation system for navigating both night and day by observation of K-band or H-band infrared light from multiple stars. A preferred embodiment uses three telescopes with each of the three telescopes rigidly mounted with respect to each other and rigidly mounted on a movable platform such as a ship or airplane with each telescope being directed at a substantially different portion of sky. Telescope optics focuses, onto the pixel array of a sensor, H-band or K-band light from stars in the field of view of each telescope. The system also includes an inclinometer, an accurate timing device and a computer processor having access to cataloged infrared star charts. The processor is programmed with special algorithms to use image data from the infrared sensors, inclination information from the inclinometer, time information from the timing device and the cataloged star charts information to determine positions of the platform. At least two telescopes pointed far enough from the sun detect stars. Direction information from two stars is needed for locating the platform with respect to the celestial sphere. The computer is also preferably programmed to use this celestial position information to calculate latitude, longitude and absolute azimuth, all of which may be displayed on a display device such as a monitor. In a preferred embodiment each of the three telescopes are fixed on a moving ship and views a 0.5×0.4 degree region of the sky for H-band starlight from stars with brightness greater than 6.4 H-band magnitude. Located stars are then compared with star positions from the star catalog within a selected 5×5 degree region of the sky. A correlation of the data from the three telescopic measurements determines the position of the ship to a precision of 30 meters.

摘要： A portable celestial compass (PCC) that provides a new multi-functional capability for high precision target localization. The battery-powered PCC is built around US Army's M-25 stabilized binocular and includes a miniature eye-safe laser range finder, a gyro stabilized binocular, a 3-axis tilt compensated digital compass, and a built-in specialized chip with star catalog and software for target AZ/EL determination and sight reduction. A gyro stabilized binocular rejects up to 98% of image motion caused by hand tremor and platform vibration. Laser rangefinder has the accuracy of ±2 m at 5 km range. The PCC uses celestial objects as absolute references for target azimuth and elevation determination. The azimuth and elevation accuracy is 2 mrad, or 10 m at 5 km range, which is by a factor of up to 5 better than that for a magnetic compass.

摘要： An angles only aircraft navigation system. The system includes an IMU coupled with a passive optical sensor. The optical sensor provides periodic updates to the IMU in order to correct for accelerometer and gyro drifts. The IMU computes the air vehicle's instantaneous position, velocity, and attitude using gyro and accelerometer measurements. The optical sensor images stars and satellites. The navigation filter combines optical sensor measurements with IMU inputs, and determines those corrections needed to compensate for the IMU drifts. By applying periodic corrections to the IMU using satellite angular measurements, the navigation filter maintains an accurate position estimate during an entire flight.

摘要： An automatic celestial navigation system for navigating both night and day by observation of K-band or H-band infrared light from multiple stars. In a first set of preferred embodiments three relatively large aperture telescopes are rigidly mounted on a movable platform such as a ship or airplane with each telescope being directed at a substantially different portion of sky. Embodiments in this first set tend to be relatively large and heavy, such as about one cubic meter and about 60 pounds. In a second set of preferred embodiments one or more smaller aperture telescopes are pivotably mounted on a movable platform such as a ship, airplane or missile so that the telescope or telescopes can be pivoted to point toward specific regions of the sky. Embodiments of this second set are mechanically more complicated than those of the first set, but are much smaller and lighter and are especially useful for guidance of aircraft and missiles. Telescope optics focus (on to a pixel array of a sensor) H-band or K-band light from one or more stars in the field of view of each telescope. Each system also includes an inclinometer, an accurate timing device and a computer processor having access to catalogued infrared star charts. The processor for each system is programmed with special algorithms to use image data from the infrared sensors, inclination information from the inclinometer, time information from the timing device and the catalogued star charts information to determine positions of the platform. Direction information from two stars is needed for locating the platform with respect to the celestial sphere. The computer is also preferably programmed to use this celestial position information to calculate latitude and longitude which may be displayed on a display device such as a monitor or used by a guidance control system. These embodiments are jam proof and insensitive to radio frequency interference. These systems provide efficient alternatives to GPS when GPS is unavailable and can be used for periodic augmentation of inertial navigation systems.

摘要： A secured personal communication device (SPCD) with iris imaging and retinal scanning designed to provide sensitive or proprietary information when and where it is needed without the possibility for eavesdropping. Sensitive information is transmitted to the user only if the image of the user's iris matches a pre-recorded template of the user's iris. In preferred embodiments a waist mounted fingerprint reader and a RFID/CAC card reader provides additional assurance that transmission of sensitive information is secure. A proximity sensor and waist-mounted communication-control electronic module can also be provided to assure that there is no display of sensitive information to the wearer unless the retinal scanning and iris imaging components are located with the wearer near the eye to which sensitive information is transmitted.

摘要： An optical system for providing crosswind aim point correction for a sniper rifles and similar weapons comprising an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, a display device and a processor. The optical transmitter produces a collimated laser beam for illuminating a spot on the target. The optical receiver receives optical signals transmitted by the optical transmitter and scattered back from the target and converts the optical signals into time varying electrical signals. The processor processes the time varying electrical signals to determine a path weighted average crosswind. The processor is equipped with software that permits it to calculate the path-weighted average crosswind utilizing at least three different methods.
