Abstract :
The requirements for current and future EO system test equipment demands down-sized, multi-functional, multi-spectral, lightweight, low-cost Test Collimators. Last year\´s Autotestcon \´94 paper titled "Down-Size Multi-Functionar EO Test Collimators" presented the Hughes Test Collimator approach of an all-metal, reflective mirror assembly, combined with an integrated target assembly, utilizing the emissivity target and other Hughes patented technologies. This year\´s paper will present additional technologies and capabilities, quantify measured performance results, elaborate on many of the advantages of the Hughes approach, and emphasize the multi-system, multi-functional capability.
