Piecing Together the Future Battlefield with Mosaic Warfare at DCS
Highly advanced technology and combatants have modernized the concepts and methods for war. Philip Perconti, Ph.D., director at the U.S. Army Research Lab, and Timothy Grayson, Ph.D., office director at Strategic Technology Office DARPA, will present their ideas on how to address these new and ever-changing characteristics in plenary sessions highlighting the first two days of SPIE’s Defense and Commercial Sensing Conference, held next week in Baltimore, Md.

Telescope Test Bench - ImageMaster® Afocal
From: TRIOPTICS GmbH
For image quality testing of optical afocal systems TRIOPTICS has developed the telescope test bench ImageMaster® Afocal. The horizontal measurement system is well suited for afocal samples like telescopes and riflescopes. Additional options and dedicated sample holders enable measurements of various parameters for binoculars and spotting scopes. The wide range of parameters include MTF or magnification, and with its focusable collimator also specific measurements like parallax (free distance) are performed.

LPCVD Conformal AR Coatings
From: Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI)
Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) is a high-temperature process that provides seamless, conformal coatings on a variety of substrates including glass, ceramics, and metals. In the LPCVD process, all surfaces are uniformly coated with a high-quality multilayer optical coating. Deposition Science's LPCVD coatings feature laser damage threshold levels as high as 25 MW/cm2, making them ideal for high-energy systems such as laser, gas, diode, and diode-pumped solid-state systems.

Thermographic Zoom Cameras
From: InfraTec GmbH, Infrarotsensorik und Messtechnik
Solving thermographic measurement tasks at rapidly varying distances or fields of view is often associated with technical effort and economically unacceptable costs. In these cases, rely on InfraTec's radiometrically-calibrated thermographic cameras with cooled and uncooled detectors up to (1,280 x 1,024) IR pixels with powerful zoom lenses. Due to 30x IR-optical zoom with (28 … 850) mm focal length, different measurement scenes can be adapted quickly and flexibly.
