Research abstract

Lasers are being considered for several functions in boost-phase missile defense systems, including interceptor to ground communication, and detection of the missile hardbody. Exhaust plumes can attenuate and scatter laser light, interfering with thefunction of the laser systems. Spectral Sciences, Inc. proposes to develop a high fidelity physics-based model of laser-plume and hardbody interactions, based on our Monte Carlo hyperspectral synthetic scene generation toolkit, MCScene. This model,designated
