Military
Several military applications require the use of paints, coatings and materials that have certain reflectance, transmittance, or scattering requirements. Also, many of these materials have thermal properties requirements, lest they become easy targets for infrared (IR) guided weapons. In addition, the materials utilized on missiles (tactical, theatre, and ballistic) must be detectable by the wide range of sensors used by the U.S. and allied nations.
- The MS division has over 3 decades of experience supporting various missile defense applications. SOC's Measurement Services's BRDF capabilities is un-matched in this industry ,and allows for detailed mappings of the scatter from various materials that are commonly used in missile construction and operation. By knowing the BRDF profile of a material, missile defense operations can discriminate between actual, intended targets and possible decoy materials.
- Application specific spectral imaging systems are also available.
