Description
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is seeking information from interested parties regarding their ability to provide a Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) Deformable Mirror (DM) for the AFRL/RWTSH at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The required item will be used to support research and development of new Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensing capabilities for hypersonics at the KHILS Laboratory. The DM must meet specific salient characteristics, including a continuous membrane/MEMS deformable mirror type, a minimum actuator count of 137, and an aperture size of 4mm to 8mm.
• The DM will introduce controllable wavefront aberrations into an infrared scene projector, replicating the effects of a sensor looking through a heated window subject to plasma and aero-optical turbulence.
• The completed testbed, enabled by this DM, represents a novel capability for evaluating IR-guided hypersonic weapons.
• The DM must be capable of being calibrated and driven in an open-loop fashion.
• The delivery time for the required item is 14 weeks or less.
