Missile Warning Sensor

4 recipients will receive $2,413,000. This is a first-time earmark.
Year Enacted: 2005
Description: Initiated development of a 2-color mid-wave infrared (MWIR) sensor technology for improved missile warning receiver (MWR) performance over current systems operating in the ultraviolet (UV). Specific efforts will address fabricating mercury-cadmium-telluride (MCT) focal plane arrays in a 2-color, stacked diode, 256-by-256 pixel architecture on 6-inch silicon wafer substrates for greatly improved affordability; and developing a common sensor design to include visible and near-infrared (Vis/NIR) pulsed laser guidance detection along with 2-color MWIR missile plume detection in a single threat warning receiver, greatly reducing the cost and logistics burden of separate receivers.
