Information presented will be ITAR/export controlled. Verification of U.S.
citizenship or permanent residency is required.
You must request an account on AFRL’s MSMC VDL web site;
instructions are included in the PDF below. Because certification of US residency
status is required to open an account, this will also serve as verification
of US citizenship or permanent residency which is required for workshop participation.
Your VDL account will also serve as citizenship verification for future workshops.

EO/IR Calibration and Characterization Workshop
18-20 March 2008
Workshop Location – Tucson,
Arizona
Presenters from government, industry and academia will discuss the importance
and potential of a united effort to improve and standardize measurements and
data formats within the EO/IR community. Participants will benefit from presentations
on current calibration and characterization activities and lessons learned,
while also taking part in focused breakout sessions that will address specific
issues of interest to the community. The breakout sessions will foster open
discussion and provide participants with the opportunity to share ideas and
explore possibilities, as well as contribute to the development of a roadmap
based on broad community input.
Workshop topics may include the following:
- Previous and current efforts in implementing measurement range calibration,
characterization, and certification programs
- Defining appropriate objectives for community activities
- Exploring the spectrum between best practices and range certification
- Developing an EO/IR documentation standard as a mechanism for capturing
range measurement procedures and best practices
- Developing and improving uncertainty analysis procedures for EO/IR measurements
and their role in improving range measurements
- Developing appropriate inter-laboratory comparison procedures for improvement
of measurement facilities throughout the country
- The use of EO/IR codes and predictions for range calibration and characterization
- Developing benchmark targets to test EO/IR modeling and simulation codes
- The current state of EO/IR modeling and simulation and its application
to the calibration and characterization process
