Next Generation LWIR Spectrum Projector (CB-2) Design Study

Abstract

This document outlines the basic optical requirements for the next generation LWIR spectrum projector (CB-2) and the two best ways to meet those requirements. Based upon the success of the CB-1 Spectrum Projector built and tested by MRC, Dugway Proving Ground, Block Engineering and Edgewood Research Development and Engineering Center (now U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center), a new and improved DB-2 is being designed. The preliminary designs for the CB-2 are enclosed along with their expected performances. Aspects for the CB-2 system not discussed in this report are the drive electronics for the emitter array, the calibration procedure and requirements, and the necessary steps for making calibrated movies to drive the emitters.
