The most practical arrangement for investigating moving fires within a restricted space is to use a high- resolution stand off technique. One such method that fits this description is the use of a staring infrared (IR) sensing device (i.e. imager).

This proposal addresses the need for a flexible, high performance, multi-parameter test bed for infrared focal plane arrays. An adaptable brass-board system that is readily reconfigurable to operate advanced FPAs is proposed. This rugged system permits user controlled tuning of key optical,… More

This proposal addresses the need for innovative test packaging to permit testing of new focal plane arrays, read-out integrated circuit designs and related components in a mission relevant environment. We address the middle stage development gap that exists between FPA prototype and sensor system… More
