The laser source energy and the target source energy goes through a common optical path to a beam splitter. The energy from the target source is filtered, allowing only the laser information to pass through to the laser quadrant detector. The second path from the beam splitter has a blocking filter to block the laser energy, and the remaining energy, that of the target source, is measured by the target quadrant detector. The geometric translator is a computer controlled azimuth and elevation gymbal device which tracks (drivers to null) the target source. The target source is a strobe lamp. The angular information from the dual quadrant detectors and the geometic translator are fed into an compact mini-computer.

A testing system for testing a laser designator which is designed to illuminate a spot on a target and maintain the spot in the center of the target comprising a reference electromagnetic energy source located on the target and radiating reference electromagnetic energy out from a center portion of said target; said laser designator being remotely located from said target and illuminating a spot on said target with a laser beam; a measuring device located spatially from said target so as to receive radiation reflected from the spot illuminated by said laser beam and to receive said reference electromagnetic energy; said reference electromagnetic energy and said reflected laser energy following the same optical path from said target to said measuring device; and said measuring means measuring the location of the spot illuminated by said laser beam relative to the location of said reference source and therefore relative to the center of said target.
