Abstract

A tracking system for tracking a target is described. The tracking system comprises a radiation source capable of generating high data rate optical pulse patterns at low pulse energies. A method of tracking a target is also described, the method comprising the step of transmitting a high data rate optical pulse pattern at a low pulse energy from a transmitter; illuminating the target with said pulse pattern; and confirming that the target is illuminated by the pulse associated with the transmitter, thereby confirming the target. The use of the system and method as optical communication means is also disclosed.
