Abstract

Improved situational awareness using SWIR is of upmost importance to many of SUI's, a Collins Aerospace company, customers. SUI’s proprietary Asynchronous Laser Pulse Detection (aka MMT, Multi-Mode Tracking) methodology facilitates the detection, tracking, and decode of NIR-SWIR lasers at the pixel level at all ambient lighting conditions without the compromising imaging performance. This paper describes advancing this technology for improved hostile detection. The main challenge of hostile detection using infrared imaging technologies is the requirement for fast frame rates as the signal lifetime is short for both retroreflection and muzzle flash detection. In this work, SUI demonstrates how its MMT technology can be leveraged for low SWaP hostile detection applications.
