Abstract
Future high-speed heat seeking missiles require aerodynamic infrared dome shapes that reduce drag and provide a larger unvignetted field of view. These shapes require new fabrication methods and tools as well as new metrology techniques to accurately measure physical attributes and optical performance. Significant progress has been made in all aspects of producing an optical ogive dome from CeraNovas transparent alumina and further work will refine the techniques and reduce manufacturing costs.
