The exploratory development model of the Position and Attitude Monitor, PAM, represents the current state of the art in electrooptical remote attitude measurement. The basic operation of the PAM depends on a laser illuminating retroreflective optics of the airborne component from a tracking ground station. The application for which the PAM was developed is an Airborne Passive Artillery Locating System (PALS-A). PAM design details, test techniques, and pre-acceptance test results are presented. Formal acceptance testing was completed after delivery to Ft. Monmouth. Position measurement accuracy of the exploratory development model of the PAM was demonstrated to be 0.1 meter. Attitude measurement capability was demonstrated to on the order of 0.2 milliradian. The operational range of the PAM was demonstrated to 450 meters. All testing was done on the ground using a horizontal simulated flight profile. Test results validate PAM design concepts and indicate further development is warranted. This electro-optical, three-axis, remote attitude measuring technique appears to be useful to distances of a kilometer or more.
