Laser Doppler Experiments
Abstract
This document constitutes the Final Report on Contract N00014-90-C- 0214/P00001, Relative Merits of Innovative Imaging Sensor Systems, and covers the period 18 January 1991 through 12 April 1992. The purpose of the work was to conduct research and assist efforts in ground-based optical identification and tracking at the Innovative Science and Technology Experimental Facility (ISTEF) in Florida. The technology areas covered included signal processing, the collection of target signature data, and proof-of-concept field demonstrations of sensor systems. A major portion of the work centered on the design of a laser Doppler field experiment which would be suitable for deployment at ISTEF, a site which is uniquely well suited for obtaining signature data relevant to the rocket lift-off episode. Extensive documentation of interim results is contained in earlier reports which were delivered to the sponsor on three occasions: at the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) on 15 October 1991 (Ref. 1); at an intermediate briefing on 9 January 1992 (Ref. 2), and at the Critical Design Review (CDR) on 14 February 1992 (Ref, 3). In the present report, we discuss the methods used in the underlying analysis and recapitulate the key results and recommendations obtained.
