A program to define and design a wide area illuminator to be used on the United States Coast Guard HH-3F search and rescue helicopters is described. An explanation of the Night Vision Laboratory Computer search model and how it was used to select the optimum light source for the application is given. Finally, the completed purchase description and the test plan for use in evaluating the hardware when developed is presented. It is anticipated that the first of the illuminators will be available for testing on aircraft during 1978. (Author)
