Focal Arrays for Curved Infrared Imagers (FOCII)
Abstract
The Focal Arrays for Curved Infrared Imagers (FOCII) program is developing curved focal plane arrays for broadband infrared (IR) imagers to enhance battlefield detection and discrimination while maintaining situational awareness. FOCII will leverage curving strategies for state-of-the-art focal plane arrays combined with advances in designing and manufacturing stress relief features to demonstrate hardware that simultaneously provides maximum resolution and illumination. This program will develop novel designs for IR imagers that enable minimal size, weight and cost for size-constrained applications. This will enable new applications in passive seeker technology for missiles, overhead persistent infrared imaging, 360-degree situational awareness, infrared search and track, and long-range targeting.
