Description
A 1280x1024 on 8 µm pitch seeker with 0.4 to 2.6 µm detection capability will be incorporated with electronics to allow real time target discrimination at rapid closure rates. The imager will have peak sensitivity greater than 60% and dark current of less than 6 µA/cm2 at 273 K. The camera will have greater than 99% pixel operability with a 12 bit digital output at over 300 fps at full resolution and >1000 fps when windowed to 512x512. The imager will be manufactured on InP substrates using the InGaAs/GaAsSb system allowing for low cost and the ability to leverage modern III-V processing. The imager will be manufactured and hybridized at the wafer scale to allow for future integration of pixel by pixel filtering technology during production to minimize cost and improve filter alignment accuracy. The seeker with wide field of optics and processing space for advanced tracking and filter processing and pixel fusion algorithms will be able to survive the rigors of launch and high speed travel
