Observation Station v1 — Design Blueprint: Range-Certified Electro-Optical Observation Station (Passive Observation Only)

DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. Build-ready design blueprint derived from 'A Range-Certified Electro-Optical Observation Station' (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.24102256). Specifies a tripod- or fixed-mount camera (3840 x 2160, 3.45 um pixels, 100 mm baseline), one co-aligned 905 nm Class 1 laser rangefinder channel (5.0 m to 3000 m, standard uncertainty 0.50 m), and a two-axis encoder mount (5.0 urad per axis), sampling synchronously at 10.0 Hz. Includes bill of materials with required specifications (the source states no costs, so none are given), dimensions and tolerances, assembly, deployment, calibration/commissioning and readout procedures, operating envelope with printed failure regimes (bearing-only non-identifiability without the range channel; no certification beyond 3000 m, at night, or from single-interval acceleration), maintenance, failure modes, and explicit non-claims. Passive observation and evidence recording only; no targeting, guidance, or weapons content. For the source worked example at 1000 m: size uncertainty 0.00994 m (0.099%), transverse velocity 0.089 m/s (0.179%), transverse acceleration 0.0151 m/s2 (0.302%, 1.0 s fit).

Abstract

DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. Build-ready design blueprint derived from 'A Range-Certified Electro-Optical Observation Station' (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.24102256). Specifies a tripod- or fixed-mount camera (3840 x 2160, 3.45 um pixels, 100 mm baseline), one co-aligned 905 nm Class 1 laser rangefinder channel (5.0 m to 3000 m, standard uncertainty 0.50 m), and a two-axis encoder mount (5.0 urad per axis), sampling synchronously at 10.0 Hz. Includes bill of materials with required specifications (the source states no costs, so none are given), dimensions and tolerances, assembly, deployment, calibration/commissioning and readout procedures, operating envelope with printed failure regimes (bearing-only non-identifiability without the range channel; no certification beyond 3000 m, at night, or from single-interval acceleration), maintenance, failure modes, and explicit non-claims. Passive observation and evidence recording only; no targeting, guidance, or weapons content. For the source worked example at 1000 m: size uncertainty 0.00994 m (0.099%), transverse velocity 0.089 m/s (0.179%), transverse acceleration 0.0151 m/s2 (0.302%, 1.0 s fit).
