A Range-Certified Electro-Optical Observation Station

Design paper for a tripod electro-optical camera paired with one 905 nm Class 1 laser rangefinder channel and a two-axis encoder mount. Derives the certified error budget for object size, transverse velocity and transverse acceleration with the range channel, and demonstrates formal non-identifiability without it. All performance figures are simulated, not measured; no hardware was built or tested.
