This device checks if a camera and laser system, like those used in anti-missile systems, are pointing in the same direction. It shines a simulated target light into the camera and also takes in the laser beam. It then compares where the camera "sees" the target and where it "sees" its own laser beam to ensure they are aligned. The claims describe an apparatus with a housing, light source, imaging array, and optics, optionally including a power meter.
Why it matters: Advances in imaging arrays and precision optics since 2012 make high-accuracy alignment systems more feasible. This allows for more robust and cost-effective solutions for military and industrial applications.
