Integrated Line-of-Sight Modeling of the Airborne Aero-Optics Laboratory

Abstract

The Airborne Aero-Optics Laboratory \201AAOL\202 was designed to measure the effects of turbulent flow on the wavefront of a laser projected from an airplane in flight. An integrated line-of-sight model that predicts closed-loop jitter of the AAOL system is presented. The influence of model uncertainty with model tuning based on available experimental measurements was examined for one flight condition.
