Full description (from SBIR.gov)
AEDC requires a method to resolve temperature and emissivity across the surface of test articles. Specifically, there is a need for a high-speed low-temperature measurement solution that overlaps with other higher-temperature capabilities. The solution threshold requirements are to measure surface temperature from 0-1500 F (2000 F objective), at 4000 Hz (5000 Hz objective), with a pixel footprint of at most 0.1 inch (0.05 inch objective) and an accuracy of +/- 10 deg F (+/- 5 deg F objective).
