Research abstract
NICSSIM will provide a necessary cost-effective adjunct simulation and data analysis package that simulates the effects of radiation on a sensor focal plane array before performing radiation tests in the NICS/NODDS chamber currently being refurbished by RAD of Colorado Springs. Such simulation reduces test cost and maximizes the efficacy of the testing done, as well as providing a state of the art data analysis tool for processing the gigibytes of data accumulated during ultimate verification test series. We propose developing such a package to simulate the effects of testing in the NICS/NODDS environment with the ultimate goal of developing a tool that accurately provides a general evaluation of system-level and higher response of optical systems to radiation environments with a minimal amount of optimized radiation testing.
