Conformal optics technology

Conformal dome can greatly reduce the air resistance,so it will provide increased missile performance in terms of speed and range.The precision conformal optics technology is described.The key to the designer is correcting the dynamic unsymmetrical aberrations over the scan field.Some methods are discussed to correct conformal dome aberrations,such as employing counter-rotating phase plates,translating phase plates,or an arch corrector.And conformal dome machining,testing and applying is introduced.It is pointed that the application of conformal dome is the development trend of future in the field of high-speed missile.
