Abstract:

A Round-Robin mirror scatter measurements program was conducted for the purpose of comparing scatter measurement equipment and data reduction techniques employed by several IR sensor manufacturers. Measurements of mirror scatter by each of the participating facilities using the same test mirrors was found to be in general agreement. No significant differences in data reduction techniques used by the different participants were discovered.
