Seeding The Future: Optical Sciences Corporation

Air Force Research Laboratory

Optical Sciences Corporation, a small business based in Huntsville, Alabama, specialize in hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and the testing of infrared sensors. Their infrared scene projector technology enhances the Air Force mission by improving their ability to test their sensors in their ground test facilities.

With funding from the Air Force SBIR/STTR program, Optical Sciences developed a digital micro mirror device and applied it to the testing of infrared missile seekers. Additionally, they figured out how to use this technology in a space simulation chamber at Arnold Engineering Development Complex, where the device operates in temperatures below 100 kelvin, and within a vacuum environment.
