DOD Lab Day to showcase groundbreaking technologies
The Sodium Guidestar at the Air Force Research Laboratory's Starfire Optical Range resides on a 6,240 foot hilltop at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M. Researchers with AFRL's Directed Energy Directorate use the Guidestar laser for real-time, high-fidelity tracking and imaging of satellites too faint for conventional adaptive optical imaging systems. Directed-Energy and Electro-Optics for Space Superiority (DEOSS) is one of 26 ground-breaking AFRL technologies which will be demonstrated during DOD Lab Day, May 14, 2015, at the Pentagon’s courtyard in Washington, D.C.
