Radar uses pulsed injection lasers for acquisition, coarse ranging, and angular tracking; angular tracking detectors are image dissectors; incoherent injection diode that is continuously modulated operates as source for vernier ranging from 3 km to docking; static tests in laboratory indicated capability of ranging to accuracy of less than 10 cm; dynamic closed-loop testing was performed on full-scale docking simulator, with radar providing information to simulator computer for complete rendezvous and docking maneuver; sequence of operation on simulator was acquisition, angular alignment of spacecraft, closure, and docking; results of tests.
