The diverse nature of
our customers, often-dissimilar test requirements,
and dynamic mission schedules demand rapid optical
system design, layout, and implementation. Responding
to this demand is a hallmark of L-3 Aeromet which
is an essential part of our work. We design, build,
and integrate sensor suites on mission aircraft to
meet the customer’s test requirements.
Integration of these sensor suites on a mission aircraft
usually requires significant specialized optical engineering.
We have the ability and resources to do complex optical
system design spanning the ultraviolet (UV) to the
long wave infrared (LWIR) wavebands. This work includes:
in-house custom designed and built sensor suites, commercial
off the shelf (COTS) sensors, and sensors from third
parties such as: Army Research Labs (ARL), Air Force
Research Labs (AFRL), Johns Hopkins University/Applied
Physics Labs (JHU/APL), Lawrence Livermore National
Labs (LLNL), and others.
Spectral and radiometric calibrations are vital to
meaningful data collections. Our optical engineers
are responsible for ensuring that calibration equipment
and methodologies are in place, conducting the calibrations,
and reporting the results.
