To meet the kinetic energy anti-satellite (ke asat) requirements for timely and reliable kill assessment, aeromet proposes to recommend innovative techniques in real-time kill assessment spectroscopy. Because it can be critically important to accurately verify satellite elimination, a kill assessment system must discern between various hit and miss phenomena, including the use of potential countermeasures. Aeromet, Inc. Will have the support of rockwell international corporation chemical kineticists to define these phenomena. Aeromet will assess the spectral, spatial and temporal feasibility of various spectroscopic technologies based upon the predicted asat encounter phenomena.
