The Visible-InGaAs MiniCamera is billed as the world's smallest dual wavelength range camera that simultaneously images in the visible and short-wave infra-red spectrum.
Goodrich will begin development immediately and expects to deliver the technology in early 2007.
According to Goodrich Vice President and General Manager of its SUI team, Dr Marshall Cohen, "Our team will modify, combine and enhance the functionality of two of its commercially available shortwave infra-red (SWIR) cameras, resulting in a single unit that will meet the Army's requirements".
"By leveraging our proprietary technology, we will develop a new boresight camera that will be smaller, require less power and offer superior operational capabilities over currently available SWIR cameras".
