Advanced Wide FOV Architectures for Image Reconstruction & Exploitation (AWARE)

Abstract

The Advanced Wide Field of View (FOV) Architectures for Image Reconstruction & Exploitation (AWARE) program addressed 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 solved 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 demonstrated technologies such as detectors, focal plane arrays, read-out integrated circuitry, and computational imaging that enable wide FOV and high space-bandwidth, novel optical designs, high resolution and multiple wavelength-band imagers. These technologies will be integrated into subsystem demonstrations under the related project in PE 0603739E, MT-15.
