MM&T: Precision Machining of Optical Components.

Abstract

This first interim technical report describes the results of the Basic Effort Contract whose purpose is to establish a commercial manufacturing base for cost-effective production of Army high energy laser and infrared optics and optical support items for Army systems applications. The specification for machinery to manufacture these elements, metrology to measure the components and a facility to house this equipment is presented. A calculation for the return in investment forms part of this report. (Author)
