Near Infrared Stretched Pulse Processing

The objective of the SBIR effort is to develop an advanced SAL projector system capable of significantly greater fidelity than current systems are able to achieve. This will be attained by greatly enhancing the capabilities of the projector in the area of modulation in both the temporal and spatial domains. This will result in the projector generating more realistic simulated laser designator return signals. The goal of the Phase I effort is to prove the feasibility of a conceptual design approach and in the course of this activity develop a detailed design of the advanced SAL projection system. The proposal details the various tasks to be performed along with the technical approaches to be considered to meet the stated goal. The results of the Phase I research will lead directly to the development of an advanced SAL projector system during the Phase II effort.
