Abstract
In this paper, the optical axis alignment(OAA) of an infrared sensor(IRS) using a microwave sensor(MWS) was presented as a method of an axis alignment to minimize the problems that could be caused by the misalignment of the two sensors in the missile including the dual-mode sensor. The azimuth(AZ) and elevation(EL) angles of the two targets used for each sensor test were calculated by using the transformation equation and the test results of the MWS and IRS, and then the proposed OAA was verified by comparing the angles. Furthermore, the validity of the proposed OAA was demonstrated by confirming the abnormality of the OAA through the test results of the electro optical head(EOH) of the IRS which was equipped with a tilt on the missile fuselage.
