Teledyne Imaging Sensors said its deliveries for Space Development Agency Tracking Layer programs exceed 1.3 billion infrared detector pixels across more than 170 focal planes. It also reported contracts for more than 115 additional focal planes. These are company-reported delivery and order figures, not a measure of deployed satellite performance.
GLOBAL IMAGING BRIEF
The figures indicate scaling of space-qualified infrared focal-plane production. Component suppliers and system integrators should watch manufacturing yield, radiation tolerance and delivery schedules as follow-on programs proceed.
