Research abstract
OKSI proposes to design (under Phase-I) and build (under Phase-II) a field deployable, portable, Advanced Plate FLIR system for the testing of DBFM and similar GEN-3 FPAs under real field environment. The system will comprise a repumpable camera with interchangeable daughter cards/clamp assembly allowing for an easy replacement of FPAs. A cold shield will allow setting different VariAp® assemblies with continuous f-numbers both in circular and racetrack configurations. The interchangeable VariAp® assembly will be based on OKSI's VariAp® kit. The system electronics will provide a general-purpose clock generator with multiple clock lines and phases, as well as all the required bias voltages for practically any FPA. Software will be developed to give the user full control of many of the nontraditional sensor system parameters. Zoom optics covering the f-number range for the various 3GF implementations will also be developed under Phase-II. The system will be ruggedized for operations onboard ground vehicles.
