This report describes a study performed at Martin Marietta Aerospace during the first six months of 1974 on trial designs of an active laser homing system. This active seeker consists of a YAG:Nd laser co-located with a quadrant detector seeker in the nose of a Littlejohn missile airframe. This system is designed to home on a corner cube type retroreflector which is illuminated by the laser. Ruggedness, simplicity and ease of construction are very important considerations, and every effort has been made to make the system inexpensive, consistent with the one mission nature of its use.
