Multi-Spectral Test
Abstract
The Multi-Spectral Test focus area develops technologies to test multi-spectral and hyperspectral weapon systems and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. Current methods for testing multi- and hyperspectral sensors rely heavily on expensive field test programs that leave several critical gaps. Imagery can be collected and stored to mitigate this deficiency in part, but the process is expensive and cannot cover the full spectrum of environments required for complete test article evaluation and performance analysis. The test and evaluation (T&E) community needs the ability to test these advanced seekers and sensors in a repeatable, objective fashion before and after they are integrated into warfighting systems. Without these new T&E innovations, DoD will be unable to perform adequate test and evaluation of the multi- and hyperspectral weapon systems of the future.
