A follow-up guidance and information transfer system is disclosed for use between a control point and a moving object utilizing a laser beam generated at the control point. The incident beam is directed by a movable mirror toward the moving object and reflected therefrom by a corner cube or the like along the same path. A detector disposed in the passing zone detects direction and amplitude of deviations of the reflected beam from the path of the incident beam, and a mirror control responds to the detected signals to direct the path of the incident beam to follow the moving object.

A follow-up system for transfer of guidance and information between a control point and a moving object comprising: a light-beam generating apparatus at said control point arranged to project an incident light beam; a follow-up mirror in the path of said light beam arranged to reflect said incident

A follow-up system for transfer of guidance and information between a control point and a moving object comprising: a light-beam generating apparatus at said control point arranged to project an incident light beam; a follow-up mirror in the path of said light beam arranged to reflect said incident light beam; a driving motor connected to said follow-up mirror and arranged to direct the path of said incident light beam; a light reflection means mounted to said moving object for reflecting said incident light beam in the same path as said incident beam; a light-beam sensitive detection means disposed in the passing zone of said reflected light beam for detecting a deviation thereof from said incident light beam path and for producing signals representative of the direction and amount of such deviation; and control means for controlling the rotation of said driving motor in response to said signals to move said follow-up mirror in a direction so that said incident light beam follows said moving object.
