Research abstract
This document presents Optical Sciences Corporation's SBIR technology transition proposal to develop an advanced Dynamic Optical Coupler (DOC) for Wide Field-of-View (WFOV) and wide field-of-regard space sensor testing and to integrate the DOC into a government owned space simulation chamber. The DOC will be capable of positioning the projected scenes from a narrow FOV IR Scene Projector (IRSP) anywhere within a wide FOR while maintaining the required optical resolution, position accuracy, and fully illuminating the entrance aperture of the sensor. This advanced technology will be used to support Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) testing of space-based sensor systems which include Earth observing, strategic, and interceptor sensor systems.
