1. A system for evaluating a target locator system, the system comprising: a display; at least one user input device; a controller operatively coupled to the display and the at least one input device; a memory accessible by the controller; and laser targeting software stored on the memory for execution by the controller, the laser targeting software including a graphical user interface presented on the display, the graphical user interface including: a first portion presenting at least one input for at least one source characteristic of a laser source; a second portion presenting at least one input for at least one detector characteristic of a detection system; a third portion presenting at least one input for at least one target characteristic of a target object; a fourth portion presenting at least one input for at least one environment characteristic of an environment surrounding the target object; a fifth portion presenting at least one input for at least one target locator system vibration characteristic; and processing sequences to determine an effect of vibration of the target locator system on a detection of the target object illuminated by the laser source with the detection system, the effect of vibration being based on the at least one source characteristic, the at least one detector characteristic, the at least one target characteristic, the at least one environment characteristic, and the at least one target locator system vibration characteristic.
