Executive Summary
We are exploring the development of a conceptual design for an adaptive-optics system that can compensate for the deep, rapidly flowing turbulence around aircraft-mounted lasers and telescopes that degrades both imaging and beam propagation. This research has applications to laser communications, astronomical imaging, and remote-sensing systems.
