Popis: The Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) has been involved in the characterization of infrared detector and focal plane arrays (FPAs) since 1986. Test facilities have been developed to allow all aspects of FPA performance and operation to be evaluated. Basic radiometric characterization can be performed in several low background chambers, and a scene generation system has been developed and implemented to allow complex scenes to be projected and evaluated. The facilities have been continuously upgraded to accommodate testing of increasingly larger and more complex arrays. Special analysis tools have been developed to allow processing of the large quantity of data acquired for the arrays.
