Research abstract
Performance of current laser designators and rangefinders as well as antimissile IR countermeasure systems are degraded by boundary layer aero-optics and propagation path turbulence. Past approaches for compensating these error sources have focu W.J. Schafer Associates in conjunction with SY Technology Inc proposes a to develop system solutions based on demonstrated micro-electrical-mechanical (MEM) technology that offers the potential for 1 cm x 1 cm deformable mirrors with integrated on-chip se This Phase I proposal describes our approach for developing and analyzing constructs of end-to-end adaptive optics systems based on MEMs technology that can be readily incorporated into existing tactical aircraft pods and provide enhanced capability to t
