KVACC cryogenic complex scene test capability for 1- and 2-color sensors

The Kinetic Kill Vehicle Hardware-in-the-Loop Vacuum Cold Chamber (KVACC) has been a work in progress since its initial delivery in 1995. Originally delivered as a basic cryogenic test chamber with little real world capability, it has evolved over the years to a valuable test asset incorporating many leading edge test technologies. KVACC is now the centerpiece for the cryogenic complex scene test capability within the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The purpose of this paper is to describe the capabilities of KVACC as they have evolved since its initial delivery.
