A system is described which measures all six kinematic coordinates of a target undergoing random, non-rectilinear motion. The results of tests with a prototype are discussed, in which measurements have been taken over a working volume 10 feet on a side to an accuracy of 0.001”. The system measurement rate is 200 Hz.
