Abstract: The X/γ detectors in the field of national stratagem， such as astronautical technology， have very broad and important application. These detectors， however， will play their role properly only after accurate calibrations in effective energy region. For the shortage of continuously adjustable and quasimonochromatic γ source in China， it is impossible for the detector employed in aerospace to achieve an accurate calibration so that development of such detector has encountered a big obstacle (or a bottleneck). Therefore， we propose to upgrade the original LCS device to an adjustable photon energy by changing incident angle of laser beam， monochromatic， and polarized subMeV~MeV LCS γ source(SIMAPIII) ， in order to explore the new applications of LCS γ source in aerospace as well as to establish a platform for a multifunctional of γ source.
