Abstract: The job of an infrared tracking mount in reentry operations is to keep an array of optical instruments pointed accurately at a missile as it speeds across the sky. This job can be performed during day or night, for either launch or reentry operation, when the acquisition scheme has been planned accordingly. A tracking system which utilizes the combined capabilities of a human operator for acquisition and an infrared sensor for automatic tracking is described. Television viewing of the target area is shown to be of assistance to the operator.
