MZA proposes to investigate real-time compensation of laser beams projected from aircraft using modeling, simulation, and flight tests. Specifically, we will conduct flight tests with both conventiona ...

Propagation of high-energy short-pulse laser light through the atmosphere must contend with not only the phase aberrations induced by atmospheric turbulence, but also a cadre of nonlinear phenomena th ...

Air flowing over the fuselage of aircraft can induce both mechanical vibrations in the platform. Furthermore, the turbulent air flow induced by the aircraft can cause light propagating through it to b ...

MZA partnered with the Michigan Technological University (MTU) proposes to develop an atmospheric characterization sensor which unifies the measurement of atmospheric turbulence and refractivity throu ...

We propose to develop a multi-layer tracking framework that integrates feature-based, motion-based, and deep-learning-based tracking. Our proposal consist of two development tasks and two research ex ...

Space situational awareness is vital to space superiority because it enables all other space operations. It requires robust space surveillance, real-time search and targeting-quality information, and ...

MZA partnered with Kratos/DFI proposes development, optimization, subscale wind tunnel testing/validation, and target engagement simulations for an aircraft pod with forward and aft-looking laser beam ...

A technical plan is proposed for developing a supersonic pod-based application of virtual duct passive flow control for aero-optic mitigation. Virtual ducts have proven to be a highly effective tool f ...

Scene generators are commonly used to create synthetic images of ground targets, such as tanks and battlefield wheeled vehicles, to facilitate seeker algorithm development.These scene generators can p ...

MZA partnered with the University of Notre Dame proposes to transition the Navys HEFL Beam Director Subsystem (HBDS) for flight testing on the Airborne Aero-Optics Laboratory Transonic (AAOL-T) aircra ...
