Abstract
Content

Compact, lightweight, and uncooled imaging sensors are fueling a revolution in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). They are the key enablers for a powerful new breed of sophisticated, small, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and man-portable sensor systems. Very capable small UAS can work from lower-altitude vantage points and still remain undetectable. With their smaller sensor payloads, they are a fraction of the cost, and still produce uncompromised results. Uncooled indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) shortwave infrared (SWIR) and longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal microbolometers have been primary enablers in this imaging revolution.
