Goodrich Electro-Optical Systems is innovative and experienced in designing, manufacturing, integrating, and testing optical systems for customers in the science and defense communities.

Recent telescope projects include:

• Advanced Beam Control System (ABCS), a comprehensive program to develop the technologies required to sense and correct the beam quality of directed-energy weapons capable of destroying ballistic missiles in flight.

• Advanced Mirror System Demonstrator (AMSD), a program to design, build and demonstrate a figure-controlled (adaptive) mirror system architecture based on a thin, light-weighted facesheet supported through an array of actuators on a stiff, passive reaction structure thermally matched to the facesheet.

• Multispectral Thermal Imager (MTI), a multi-band visible to LWIR space-borne telescope with a comprehensive on-board calibration system.

• Southern Observatory for Astrophysical Research (SOAR), an active 4.3 meter diameter primary mirror assembly, and secondary and tertiary mirror assemblies for the SOAR Telescope located in Chile. Beam Control technologies apply to correcting telescope performance for the effects of atmospheric turbulence and controlling the beam quality of high-energy lasers.

• Starfire/Advanced Electro-Optical System (AEOS) Adaptive Optics (SAAO), a system designed to acquire, track, and correct atmospherically induced wavefront aberrations for the purpose of imaging orbiting satellites and astronomical objects. Dual Stage Deformable Mirror (DSDM), a technology that can greatly simplify beam control design of an HEL system by providing multiple beam control functions with a single mirror, reducing risk, weight, thermal management requirements, and cost.

• Transform Wavefront Sensor (TWS), a new technology to sense wavefronts corrupted by severe atmospheric scintillation.
