Research abstract
The Spectral Signature Imager(SSI) described in this proposal is a broadband LWIR or VLWIR imager with a quickly changable programmable filter that functions as a multi-sensor seeker for a variety of applications. It is coupled with a high speed processorcapable of realtime optimization of sensor parameters to maximize detection sensitivity. The programmable filter camera can simplify seeker design while adding significant improvements in detection and discrimination of targets. This design is suitablefor missle seekers and astronomy applications.
