Thermal Mapping of Laser Interaction
This device will utilize the Precision Radiometric Surface Temperature Sensor (PRST) initially developed by BD&E for high-energy laser missile defense. This technology has previously found applications in studying heat shields for NASA and metal milling processes at NIST. To meet the Air Force requirements, a broadband hyperspectral imaging system will be developed that will cover the visible through the midwave infrared.
The Air Force has a long history of investing in small businesses to expand technology for defense and security. BD&E is specifically qualified for this project, having worked with NASA, the Air Force, the Navy, and the Army to create thermal cameras, polarimetric imagers, and hyperspectral sensors. This project will expand BD&E’s portfolio of hyperspectral products with the introduction of this extremely broadband instrument.
Bodkin Design and Engineering, LLC has been providing concept development, and design and build services since 1992. Headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts, the company serves the international OEM, commercial, military, and research communities. Specializing in machine vision and imaging spectroscopy, BD&E has overseen the successful introduction of products ranging from miniature infrared cameras to dental imagers and instruments for drug discovery.
