The METS, incorporating CI Systems’ reflective optics, extended area blackbody and a motorized target wheel, provides fast, reliable testing producing repeatable, objective results.
As a modular system, the METS easily be modified for a range of electro-optical testing applications, including testing of:
The METS can be operated on the production floor, in the laboratory, and in the depot, and can be used in conjunction with CI Systems’ CTE automatic electro-optical test software.
For more information
- Superior optical quality, wavefront error better than λ/25 RMS
- Rugged design per MIL-STD 810G (secured cargo)
- High accuracy and stability blackbody
- 6 or 12 plates target wheel
- The METS is designed to retain its accuracy over a wide temperature range
- All functions can be controlled via a computer using CI Systems’ CTE automatic test software (optional)
- 19” rack mountable controller
- LOS (Line Of Sight) alignment of Multi-Sensor and Payload electro-optics
