Abstract :
Over the last few years, the Adverse Environment Test Program (AETP) has developed a unique facility at McClellan Air Force Base (AFB), Sacramento, CA. The AETP provides a means for ensuring the nuclear survivability of fiber optic/electro-optic systems for military aircraft, ships, missiles, and ground systems, as well as space-based EO systems. In this paper, we introduce this facility and describe some of our results with a view to encourage industry to make use of this new capability
