Signature Measurement Test Facility

  • Multispectral imaging radiometers and spectrometers to collect imagery and spectral data across the electromagnetic spectrum. Emphasis on the 3 to 5 and 8 to 12 micron ranges in the infrared; visible, both photopic and color, near infrared to 1.09 microns; 35 and 95 GHz millimeter wave radar.
  • Millimeter wave radar capabilities augmented by the co-located capabilities of the Army Research Laboratory
  • Calibration sources available across the spectral regions
  • Includes an instrument lift on a 120' tower
  • Includes two turntables, each with capacity exceeding 70 tons; one emplaced and the other repositionable
  • Associated data-handling laboratory produces multispectral databases with embedded images. Product is deliverable in PC-based format compatible with common office software
  • Perception laboratory creates and operates image-based scenarios, both static and moving, for determining detection parameters
  • Provides home base for geographically mobile field perception studies, including environmentally conditioned booths accommodating up to 24 observers
  • Provides support for acoustic signature collection with three-dimensional arrays of high-resolution analysis
