Sotira 4Kx4K Focal Plane Interface Electronics (FPIE)

Designed for infrared space sensors, our radiation-hardened Sotira Systems can be configured for direct data pass-through or to support a range of image processing functions for Defense, Aerospace, and Industrial needs. 

With a strong corporate background in military imaging and communications, we’ve developed several enabling technologies that support advanced digital focal planes for critical LADAR, MWIR, and SWIR applications.

Applications 

Defense:
Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Target tracking 

Industrial Inspection:
Thermal imaging, Quality control, and Non-destructive testing

Key Features

  • Compatibility with Teledyne and expanding the Sotira family to support additional infrared camera focal plane arrays, such as Raytheon and HRL, reducing system cost and complexity

  • High-speed image acquisition and data transfer provide faster access to your data

  • Advanced image processing algorithms for improved image quality and accuracy

  • Low power consumption, so batteries last longer in portable applications
