Optical Systems Group Meeting

Ben is attending the Optical Systems Group (OSG) meeting this week in Yuma, Arizona. He’s been going for several years now to the exclusive invitation only meetings.

He will be demonstrating the IO Industries’ DVR Express Core capabilities using Imperx cameras and there will be discussions on how the new technology can assist the military in their endeavors.

About Optical Systems Group (OSG)

OSG is the RCC's Center of Expertise for optical imaging systems employed on Major Range and Test Facility Bases (MRTFBs), Tactical Training Ranges, and at National Laboratories. The OSG serves as a technical resource for the government's Test and Evaluation community.

Key functions associated with this group include the acquisition, processing, post processing, analysis, archiving, and distribution of imagery from both engineering sequential and Time Space Position Information (TSPI) optical systems for missions on land, in the air, underwater, and in space.

The focus on imaging within the OSG extends from the ultraviolet to the long wave infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The group provides a forum for its members to expand their knowledge base, initiate cooperative research projects, and improve individual mission performance via semi-annual technical interchange meetings, task assignments, and ad hoc committees.

These meetings facilitate the evaluation of new imaging technology, the development of optics related standards, the identification of areas for tri-service standardization, the promotion of common range architectures and the engineering of technical solutions for optical problems.
