CA 2501320

An optical system having a wide field of regard and a low profile comprises a first section with optically passive components stationarily fixed within the optical system for focusing optical energy associated with a field of regard received by the first section, and second section. The second section includes at least one gimbal drive assembly for establishing the field of regard by actively driving an additional optical component used to guide optical energy to or from the first section. The second section can include both an azimuthal gimbal drive assembly and an elevation gimbal drive assembly. The first section can be mounted to an interface structure, which pivotally mounted to the airframe of the vehicle. The second section can be rotatably mounted to the first section, so the first section remains stationary while the gimbals of the second section rotate.

L'invention porte sur un système optique à champ de vision élargi et à profil bas qui comprend une première section pourvue de composants optiquement passifs fixés de manière stable à l'intérieur du système optique en vue de focaliser l'énergie optique associée à un champ de vision reçu par la première section, et une seconde section. La seconde section comprend au moins une suspension à la cardan en vue d'établir le champ de vision en commandant activement un composant optique additionnel utilisé pour guider l'énergie optique vers ou à partir de la première section. La seconde section peut comprendre une suspension à la cardan azimutale et une suspension à la cardan à élévation. La première section peut être montée sur une structure d'interface montée pivotante sur la cellule de l'engin. La seconde section peut être monté rotative sur la première de sorte que celle-ci reste fixe tandis que les cardans de la seconde section tournent.
