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

Abstract

The Advanced Wide Field of View (FOV) Architectures for Image Reconstruction & Exploitation (AWARE) program 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 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 demonstrates 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. This program also includes technologies previously addressed in the Wide Field of View (formerly MultiScale Optical Sensor Array Imaging (MOSAIC)) program.
