Portable high-performance staring infrared camera

This paper reports on continuing improvements in the performance and producibility of InSb focal plane arrays, which together with progress in self-contained dewar/cooler designs have resulted in a new level of portable infrared camera functional capability. A new camera will also take advantage of the latest advances in integrated circuit miniaturization and electronic package fabrication to achieve the lowest possible size, weight, and power consumption while meeting its design goals for ruggedness and reliability.
