Patent number: 11976969Abstract: Provided is a gyroscope stabilized gimbal assembly for collecting and timestamping video data and laser measurement data. The assembly can be used on multiple platforms and provides an ISR video camera system and one or more laser measurement devices, including photodetectors, thermopiles, filters, and analog to digital converters. The components are mounted to a bracket that can be installed and removed from the assembly to collect/record measurement data from the devices interacting with the laser beam. A processor collects and records measurement data from the devices interacting with the laser beam and calculates optical power data, irradiance data, and wavelength data. A storage device stores a first set of data comprising video data from said camera system and a second set of data comprising optical power data, irradiance data, and wavelength data, wherein said first and second set of data are timestamped, separated, and not comingled.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: The United States of America, as Represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Marshall A. Mullins, Charles R. Upton, Tyler Fitzsimmons, Joseph Morris

Publication number: 20230367133Abstract: Provided is a broadband multi-line laser beam combiner apparatus and method that allows a broader spectrum of light to be emitted from a single optical path. The disclosed apparatus and method provide the ability to combine a number of unique laser lines including both visual and infrared light as one optical beam that is emitted from a single emission aperture or window using both conventional dichroic mirrors and an imaging dichroic mirror. The apparatus and method are based, in part, on an optical material selection and design that affords the ability to combine multiple broadband laser sources. Rather than merely emitting discrete laser lines, the presently disclosed broadband multi-line laser beam combiner can emit an “ultra-wide-continuum” of wavelengths from approximately 400 nm to 5000 nm at emitted optical powers greater than five (5) Watts from one emission aperture/window.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Marshall A. Mullins, Charles R. Upton

Publication number: 20200148140Abstract: The present invention relates to a dispenser module for converting preexisting analog systems into a customizable digital system. According to an illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure, a user can utilize preexisting analog equipment to operate and control a dispenser module. A squib is electrically connected to a logic circuit such that the normal “firing” of the original payload at that location will cause a change in the state of the electrical circuit. Because there are multiple payload allocations within one module, this allows electrical communication with individual/select payload devices by an operator. Payloads in the module can be quickly swapped in and out without making any changes to the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2019Publication date: May 14, 2020Applicant: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Marshall Mullins, Charlie Upton, Mark Anderson, Timothy Bradley, Eric Hillenbrand
