Research abstract
The purpose of SA Photonics’ proposed effort is to provide a compact beam direction and tracking system for the Towed Airborne Plume Simulator (TAPS); to broaden its capability to include independent multi-band control for surface-to-air-missile plume simulation. A development effort lasting approximately 24 months is envisaged to mature the technology relevant to this application and transition it to AEDC. The new version of TAPS will be called "TOPS: Towed Optical Plume Simulator."
