In booth 2654 at the AUVSI Unmanned Systems North America Exhibition in Las Vegas,NV(6-9 August),UTC Aerospace Systems of Charlotte,NC,a unit of United Technologies Corp formed after its acquisition of Sensors Unlimited Inc's parent company Goodrich Corp in early August,is launching its model GA1280JS next-generation Sensors Unlimited short-wave infrared(SWIR)digital video camera.
The high-resolution indium gallium arsenide(InGaAs)military-rugged digital video camera features a 30Hz full-frame rate and adds snapshot-mode capability to the Sensors Unlimited high-definition SWIR product range.
The camera is lightweight(less than 120 grams or 4 ounces without lens)and compact(less than 4.5 cubic inches or 74 cubic centimeters),allowing easy integration into aerial,mobile and hand-held imaging systems.Suited to low-light imaging and covert surveillance requirements,the SWIR camera can capture images through smoke,fog and haze,making it suitable for integration into a variety of surveillance and reconnaissance systems.
With the JS-series InGaAs SWIR camera,cooling is not required.In addition,it features on-board,automatic gain control and real-time non-uniformity corrections that improve urban night imaging,such as capturing a dark scene that contains bright light sources.
The GA1280JS has been tested to MIL-STD-810G for functional shock,vibration,thermal shock,storage temperature,altitude,humidity and acceleration.
