1. A tracking system for use with a high energy laser, the system comprising:

  • an illuminator for generating electromagnetic radiation to be directed at an airborne target;

    a track telescope having a track detector configured to receive electromagnetic radiation reflected from the airborne target;

    a processor coupled to the track detector and a steering controller of a high energy laser (HEL), wherein the processor processes target information based at least in part on the received electromagnetic radiation detected from the track detector by applying a band-limited edge detection operation to the target information and generates band-limited edge detection data used to identify edges of the airborne target in order to track the airborne object.
