Focal Plane Interface Electronics

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 

• 6U, 3U, and Stand Alone system variations

• Heat rejection by conduction in vacuum

• Designed for EMI/EMC and radiation environments

• SmallSat – small footprint

• Enclosure options include standalone enclosure, or SpaceVPX Vita 78, 90, and 91 interface standards

• Redundancy by duplication
