14000 SERIES | MIRTS | CUSTOM SYSTEMS | ORDER INFO

Santa Barbara Infrared's target projectors are turnkey test systems for testing FLIRs or other imaging infrared systems. The standard target projectors are assembled from SBIR's STC Series collimators or MIRTS collimators, 2000 Series blackbodies, and 300 Series target wheels. With the addition of IRWindows software, SBIR's target projectors become fully integrated hardware/software solutions.

14000 SERIES TARGET PROJECTORS The 14000 Series IR Target Projectors based on SBIR's STC Series Collimators. SBIR offers these target projectors in many standard configurations to satisfy most imaging IR test requirements. Click here for chart of standard configurations.

MIRTS TARGET PROJECTORS

The MIRTS (Modular IR Target Simulator) target projectors are built around SBIR's versatile modular collimator. This collimator has a 9" diameter 30" focal length primary mirror, and is built into a lightweight, rugged, stable, carbon fiber housing with a 7" diameter clear exit aperture. It can be configured for either standard emissive target or reflective target applications (see SBIR's Target data sheet for more information about reflective targets). Additionally, the collimator accommodates a beamsplitter in the optical path so that other sources and targets can be combined with the principal IR target image for more complex tests.

This adaptable instrument can be configured with many different accessories to accomplish a wide variety of testing goals. SBIR can provide applications engineering assistance to help configure a MIRTS target projector for your specific application.

CUSTOM TARGET PROJECTORS

Santa Barbara Infrared's expertise is the design of high-end electro-optical test equipment. SBIR's engineering department can design the optics, along with IR, visible, or laser sources to properly test virtually any customer system. Major aerospace corporations regularly use SBIR to design and build the test equipment for their most critical programs. Below are some examples of application-specific test systems that SBIR has designed. Contact SBIR for applications assistance, engineering design, and fabrication for your electro-optics test requirement.

		Rugged field-portable target projector used by Lockheed Martin for LANTIRN test.
		Wide-field-of view target projector used by Raytheon TI Systems for production test of the new Cadillac DeVille night-vision system.
		Target projector incorporating IR sources, visible light sources, laser sources, and laser beam analysis; this is the e-o test system incorporated into the Navy's CASS program.
		Target projector for TOW tracker and Bradley Fighting Vehicle night sight testing.
		100:1 infrared zoom target projector with target motion, used by Northrop Grumman on the BAT program.
		One of a family of target projectors, each with a number of discrete IR and visible sources, used by Raytheon Missile Systems and British Aerospace for ASRAAM testing.
