Client's Request:
To provide an infrared camera calibration instrument for field use.

Overview of KLN's Contribution:
Conceptual and detailed design of the instrument (incl. software), and mechanical and electronic construction of the battery powered IR calibration device.

Detailed Outcome:
The infrared camera was part of a helicopter based sensitive system. Acquiring pixel by pixel accurate temperature information necessitated periodic recalibration of the camera's sensor array prior to each flight.

Protectively packaged in a canister for transport, the IR camera calibration device fits against the optical window of the IR camera to supply controlled radiation from a black body emitter to the IR camera's array sensor.
