Abstract
Faceted seeker domes have attributes which make them desirable for use as apertures for many types of missiles, and they exhibit only minor loss in electro-optical performance over counterpart hemispherical domes. Results of tests demonstrating transmission and modulation transfer function of faceted domes developed for use with midwave infrared sensors are discussed.
