A Sensor for Spatial-Spectral-Temporal Missile Signature Characterization and MPR (Spectral Range E)

we propose to design, build and deliver a sensor capable of capturing full spectral signatures, over a 2D spatial extand at a high temporal resolution. The sensor is specifically appropriate for plumes and fast changing events such as intercepts killassessment, for characterizing target signature, and specifically optimized for monocular passive ranging. We expect to develop and demonstrate the technology to be directly incorporated into various operational platforms. Specific target platformsinclude BMDO's HALO-II and later on NAIC Cobra Ball; The sensor is also applicable for BSIR architecture and similar space platforms, to UAVs including Global Hawk, and ground platforms such as ISTEF.
