This technology can be used in military surveillance and relay mirrors, imaging for retinal disease, reconnaissance mapping, and missile detection and targeting.

A fully integrated, compact, adaptive space optic mirror assembly has been developed, incorporating new advances in ultralight, high- performance composite mirrors. The composite mirrors use Q-switch matrix architecture- based pixelized control (PMN-PT) actuators, which achieve high- performance, large adaptive optic capability, while reducing the weight of present adaptive optic systems.
