Excerpt from Assessment of Space Power Related Measurement Requirements of the Strategic Defense Initiative A survey has been performed to determine the measurement requirements of space power related parameters for anticipated sdi systems. These requirements have been compared to present state-of -- the-art metrology capabilities as represented by the cali bration capabilities of the, National Institute of Standards and Technology. Metrology areas where present state-of-the -- art capabilities are inadequate to meet sdi require ments are discussed, and areas of metrology-related research which appear promising to meet these needs are examined. Particular attention is paid to the difficulties of long-term, unattended sensor calibrations and long -- term measurement reliability.
