51. SWIR Camera For UAVs 8/31/2010

    Sensors Unlimited – A part of Collins Aerospace has introduced the smallest SWaP (size weight and power) short wave infrared camera for unmanned vehicles. The 640 x 512 pixel (25µm pitch) camera weighs 120g (less than four and a half ounces) with the 23mm f/1.15 lens, providing a 40-degree field of view. The <4.9 cubic inch total volume allows it to easily fit on board most unmanned aerial or ground vehicle systems (UAS or UGS). Currently the low-SWaP camera is installed in the nose cone of a Raven hand-launched unmanned aerial system.

52. Shape Sensing Technology / 3D Shape Sensing Video Demonstration 3/11/2010
    Luna's shape sensing optical fiber knows its own position in 3D space at every discrete point along its length and can be used to track the exact position of an object to which it is attached.
53. Semiconductor Lasers for Defense 1/25/2010
    A new class of applications are being pursued with QPC Lasers because of their high brightness, high efficiency and power performance.
54. Distributed Sensing System: Model DSS 4300 10/27/2009

    Luna Technologies’ Distributed Sensing System (DSS) 4300 is a fiber optic sensing tool for making distributed measurements of temperature and strain. The DSS uses swept-wavelength interferometry to simultaneously interrogate thousands of sensors integrated in a single fiber.

55. SWIR Cameras For Photovoltaic Inspection 6/11/2009

    Sensors Unlimited – A part of Collins Aerospace announces that high resolution, shortwave infrared (SWIR) area and linescan cameras are being used to improve the manufacturing yield of photovoltaic cells. SWIR technology is well suited to monitor the quality of solar thin films, concentrated PV, and crystalline cells, to maximize efficiency of the solar cell manufacturing process through final assembly of the completed modules.
