Megapixel Uncooled Photomechanical LWIR Imager

This Phase II technology pursuit is a follow-on research and development effort to USSOCOM’s Phase I SBIR Contract No. H92222-07-P-0051. As the result of this follow-on Phase II effort, Agiltron shall provide and demonstrate two (2) very high resolution, low power and low cost imagers that collect long wave infrared (LWIR) radiation and that produce imagery of a target object. BENEFITS: The Government desires a high resolution LWIR imager that costs not more than $1,000 per copy in production quantities. The low cost and high resolution will enable a much wider use of thermal imagers in military applications and would result in a major improvement in the thermal sensor market. These advantages plus the low power consumption of the new technology will enable greater application in Special Operations Forces (SOF) unattended ground sensor systems.
