Testing FPAs with protoboards versus COTS-based instrumentation - Story

September 10, 2024

Image- and video-capture technologies have advanced significantly over the past decade, greatly benefiting warfighters and those on ISR [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] missions. Modern EO/IR [electro-optic/infrared] systems now demand extremely fast data transfer due to high-resolution focal plane arrays (FPAs). EO/IR systems are typically mission-critical and difficult to repair once deployed. One solution: FPGAs [field-programmable gate arrays] can be the backbone to support the design, development, and testing of EO/IR electronics, enhancing the capabilities and reliability of EO/IR systems for warfighters and ISR missions
