Description
Areté Associates proposes to develop a low-SWaP-C, rifle-mounted downrange crosswind sensor operating at the eye-safe wavelength of 1.5 microns for rapid ballistic correctional calculations. The sensor will use standard-issue batteries and include a simple user interface and display. The error on the crosswind measurement will be less than 1.5 m/s for winds from 0 to 20 m/s, up to a range of 1.5 km. The effort will also include an assessment of wind sensing technologies suitable for long range precision fires and technology enhancement studies for extending the application of the crosswind sensor platform to include additional functionality.
