Methodology for Testing Metric Zoom Lenses

Abstract

This report was generated for members in the test range community to provide recommended guidance on addressing methods to successfully characterize metric zoom lenses (MZLs). It does not provide characterization of any zoom lens but does offer recommendations in establishing the facilities and methodologies to obtain successful characterization of MZLs. It is important for the test range community to begin to address MZL characterization as more test ranges are in the process of acquiring and implementing MZLs for obtaining optical data of test events.
