  • Publication number: 20190094362
    Abstract: A laser warning receiver system and method having at least four optical components mapped to a photodetector array to provide for omnidirectional detection of incident laser light. In some cases, a fifth optical component is mapped to the central portion of a photodetector array to provide hemispheric detection of laser light. The laser warning receiver system is configured to detect laser light in the NIR, SWIR, MWIR, and/or LWIR range using a single photodetector array and ROIC.

  • Publication number: 20130050560
    Abstract: An electronic vertical adjustment focal plane assembly for electronic selection of a field of view from a larger field of regard is disclosed. In one embodiment, the electronic vertical adjustment focal plane assembly includes a lens assembly configured to focus radiation coming from an external field of view on to the focal plane assembly. Further, the electronic vertical adjustment focal plane assembly includes a fixed focal plane assembly that is oversized to substantially cover an entire field of regard and configured to receive the focused radiation from the lens assembly and to output a signal. Furthermore, the electronic vertical adjustment focal plane assembly includes a video controller electronically coupled to the signal from the fixed focal plane assembly and to generate an image based on an electronically selected desired elevational field of view.
