Research abstract
The Space Micro team proposes to dramatically reduce the Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) of a rad hard miniature image processing system (MIPS) for MDA interceptors using a combination of techniques. We are building upon and leveraging our existing heritage space hardware used for TacSat2 imaging, and our ORS-1 image processing system. The system evolving from this SBIR will meet MDA goals for advanced ascent interceptor avionics: 1. Miniaturized by factor of 10X 2. Radiation hardened to HAENS Level 2 3. Tie in with MDA prime contractors, (e.g Raytheon Missile Systems) in Phase II, and beyond 4. Dramatically reduced lead time based on standard product offering 5. Lower cost due to increased use of advanced COTS ICs and a small business overhead structure
