Abstract

A dual-mode laser-based and image-based seeker for projectiles, missiles, and other ordnance that persecute targets by detecting and tracking energy scattered from targets. The disclosed embodiments use a single digital imager having a single focal plane array (FPA) sensor to sense data in both the image-based and laser-based modes of operation. A control mechanism controls pixel scanning at a sub-window of the FPA to tightly control the imager's shuttering to detect, decode and localize in the imager's field-of-view a known pulse repetition frequency (PRF) from a known designator in the presence of ambient light and other confusing target designators, each having a different PRF.
