Advanced Wide FOV Architectures for Image Reconstruction & Exploitation (AWARE)
Abstract
The Advanced Wide FOV Architectures for Image Reconstruction & Exploitation (AWARE) program primarily addresses the passive imaging needs for multi-band, wide field of view (FOV) and high-resolution imaging for ground and near ground platforms. The AWARE program aims to solve the technological barriers that will enable wide FOV, high resolution and multi-band camera architectures by focusing on four major tasks: High space-bandwidth product (SBP) camera architecture; Small pitch pixel focal plane array architecture; Broadband focal plane array architecture; and Multi-band focal plane array architecture. The AWARE program will advance integration of technologies that enable wide field of view and high resolution and multi-band cameras, including the technologies demonstrated in the related AWARE program in PE 0602716E, Project ELT-01. AWARE aggregates the following programs: Nyquist-Limited Infrared Detectors (NIRD), Photon Trap Structures for Quantum Advanced Detectors (P-SQUAD), Dual-Mode Detector Ensemble (DUDE), and Multiscale Optical Array Imaging (MOSAIC). The integration of the technologies will demonstrate subsystems such as focal plane arrays and cameras.
