AEDC needs a suite of testing approaches that will enable rapid, thorough calibration of large format imaging sensors (at least 4096x4096 pixels) with existing AEDC SSTF test equipment (scene projection and data acquisition). The methodology must extend to testing imaging sensors with field of view varying between one and 30 degrees without changes to optical hardware. The challenge is both to collect the right data and then be able to track and process that data to create useful calibration and characterization analyses. FTI will work with the Government to create a design of experiment (DOE) and software technology that would: • Enable EOIR test facilities to continue calibrating the next generation of larger, more capable EOIR sensors • Avoid incurring substantial hardware upgrade costs • Better manage EOIR sensor data by incorporating more automated, robust processing software into routine data handling steps.
