Research abstract
Freeform conformal windows, which match an airframes shape, are used to protect sensor arrays. These windows provide the advantages of traditional sensor windows, namely, durability, in combination with superior aerodynamic performance. The goal of this Phase I SBIR project is to demonstrate the capability to produce a large (12 x 12), non-rotationally symmetric window to tight optical tolerances. In addition to demonstrating manufacturing capability, the Phase I effort will include development of critical features of the window and manufacturing process such as fiducials and freeform window blocking advances.
