The Australian National University will receive $126,000 through a Project Grant award from the Department of the Air Force to investigate sodium layer anisotropies for atmospheric tip-tilt retrieval using laser guide stars. This award is funded by the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800), which aims to maintain Air Force technological superiority through scientific research relevant to its needs. Under this November 25, 2022 Project Grant, the Australian National University will conduct research to better understand sodium layer anisotropies in the atmosphere and how they can be used to retrieve tip-tilt measurements for laser guide star applications. Insights from this research could help improve adaptive optics techniques supported by laser guide stars, advancing capabilities relevant to the Air Force mission. The one-year award provides $126,000 in funding and performance will take place in Australia at the Australian National University.
