The purpose of this test report is to document results of the Effective Simulation, Range and Alignment Tolerance Demonstration. This report of test results is based on the MAGLAD Effective Simulation, Range and Alignment Tolerance Demonstration Test Plan.
The purpose of the demonstration is to demonstrate: the system's level of discrimination between hit and miss achieved with the MAGLAD system as compared to the actual E- and F-type stationary target profiles; the effectiveness and accuracy of the Rifle Sight/Laser Alignment Kit; system invulnerability to false alarms in highest ambient light conditions; the full-scale system's simulation effectiveness with simulated reduced visibility via beam-power attenuation; the moving-targets' lead angle simulation ...
The report describes the results of a six months program to experimentally determine the degree of improvement to the state of the art of Q-switched neodymium lasers made possible by the use of 1.06 micron radiation absorbing filters placed within the laser pump cavity. The program experimentally studied the individual energy storage capabilities of individual YAG:Nd rods of dimensions up to 0.75 inch diameter by 4.0 inches long and the ...
