Abstract: The design and analysis of an integration plate for Laser Based Range Finding System (LBRFS) is based on three subsystems which are going to be (payload) mounted on different locations. FEM modeling and simulation of three different configurations have been considered for integration plate in assembled payload conditions. Structural analysis of the plate under the simulated boundary conditions was carried out. Plate deflection at critical point was worked out. Depending upon the results obtained optimum plate thickness with stiffeners at the various locations was incorporated on the integration plate to meet the system requirements.
Keywords: Laser Based Range Finding System, Payload.
