SwRI Develops Impact Flash Spectroscopy Tech With Applications in Missile Defense and Asteroid Science
Scientists at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have achieved a breakthrough in analyzing impact flashes generated by hypervelocity collisions, capturing spectral data within 100 nanoseconds. The technology could help missile defense systems identify intercepted missile and warhead compositions, and assist scientists in determining the origins of meteorites or asteroids that strike planetary surfaces.
