Simulation experiment of acquisition & tracking with beacon between the spatial movement platforms

Adopting beacon in the spatial optical communication between movement platforms is an important method of finishing the acquisition and tracking course. A newly beacon tracking servo system in spatial optical communication is designed with double DSPs, Kalman model is adopted to forecast target. The design of hardware and software system is introduced in detail, the acquisition time of beacon is perfectly presented from different experimental conditions, and the scan error time of beacon is also analysed at length. According to experimental result, the system has the characteristics of high precision, quick scan and real-time, and it is beneficial for the system to apply in optical communication between the spatial movement platforms.
