Maybe the US government should take some ideas from this. After spending a lot of money developing the next-gen uncooled LWIR sensor, the US has still lost the technical advantage in that domain to the French.
I don't think so but it is not something you are going to find in the open literature.
I think it is irresponsible to let this technology proliferate in the commercial sector. The weaponization potential is large and the commercial applications limited. Same with SWIR and MWIR.
I agree that the military uses are many but the commercial applications are large, too. See http://irzoom.com/home/News/Webcast:_Machine_Vision_Applications_for_IR.
Reminds of the story of how some Saudis were buying Cadillacs to get the uncooled night vision sensors that GM was putting in those cars. Not sure if it is true or not but it was circulating around just before GM pulled the plug on that safety system - maybe early 1990's.
The last post is correct. Some technologies and devices are widely spreaded mainly by European companies. Too much restriction on US products will hurt their business.
LETI will ask a lot of money to just play their own games!

ReplyDeleteEric means that only US weapons can be equiped with, not others'.
ReplyDeleteNo, anonymous troll, I mean the USA and its military allies. Of course the "FSU" has its own technology already.

ReplyDeleteIt would be much more economic to buy these products than to buy Cadillac cars :)))
