Microsensors for Imaging (MISI)

Abstract

(U)The Microsensors for Imaging (MISI) program established technology for extremely small, lightweight cameras sensitive in the short wave infrared spectrum for a wide range of applications. MISI initially focused on two important areas, micro-air vehicles and a head-mounted system. The camera components comprise a micro-system including optics, focal plane array and electronics with display, energy source and illuminator included as the head-mounted system. The limitation of weight and power places demands on the sensor technology for exceptional image quality in a micro-package. This technology will have many DoD applications. This program will transition through industry performers into DoD systems, allowing integration into small robotic platforms and micro-air vehicles.
