Abstract
Various essential elements are required to accurately point one or more lasers toward an aimpoint within an Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) system while tracking a non-stationary ICF target. An ICF target may be dropped or propelled into an ICF target chamber. With the help of a plurality of steering mirrors, one or more lasers must accurately reach the desired aimpoint within the ICF target chamber and through the laser entrance holes in the surrounding hohlraum, so that the laser energy is accurately and uniformly applied to cause a target implosion. As the non-stationary ICF target accelerates and rotates within the ICF target chamber, one or more high-resolution, high-speed images are captured. The accurate and precise control of the various elements within the system is performed by a fast processor.
