Compact, Lightweight, and Affordable Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) Camera for Shipboard Deployment Navy SBIR FY2018.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2018.1 Topic No.: N181-065 Topic Title: Compact, Lightweight, and Affordable Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) Camera for Shipboard Deployment Proposal No.: N181-065-0401 Firm: Nu-Trek 16955 Via Del Campo Suite 250 San Diego, California 92127 Contact: Stephen Black Phone: (805) 895-7784 Web Site: http://www.nu-trek.com Abstract: The Nu-Trek Team is proposing to develop LC-MWIR, a low SWaP-C MWIR camera with a high frame rate, rapidly relocatable, window. LC-MWIR is a very unique MWIR camera as it is very low SWaP-C, making it suitable for applications requiring a disposable camera and small platforms. However, the rapidly relocatable window, operating at 1 kHz frame rates, makes it suitable for Hostile Fire Indicate (HFI) and threat warning applications, which are typically addressed with much higher SWaP-C cameras. LC-MWIR features a highly innovative readout integrated circuit (ROIC) that enables the demanding performance and SWaP-C requirements to be met. The Nu-Trek Team is excited about this opportunity, as we expect that many platforms would have liked to have an MWIR camera such a LC-MWIR, will now be able to afford it. Benefits: The LC-MWIR camera that will be developed on this program is a very unique, as it is very low SWaP-C, making it suitable for applications requiring a disposable camera and small platforms. However, the rapidly relocatable window, operating at 1 kHz frame rates, makes it suitable for Hostile Fire Indicate (HFI) and threat warning applications, which are typically addressed with much higher SWaP-C cameras.
