Research abstract
OKSI proposes to investigate three different techniques to produce hemispherical situational awareness: (i) an all-optical system, (ii) a miniature, multi-camera system, and (iii) and a hybrid optical/camera system. We will compare each technique in Phase-I using laboratory prototypes assembled from off-the-shelf components. We will use the data collected to establish clear trades allowing us to recommend the optimal system for full prototype development in Phase-II.
