Characterization of BAe 512x512 resistor array IR scene projection devices

We describe preliminary characterization results from two newly completed types of 512 X 512 IR scene projection system, covering the cardinal performance features. The two systems have been optimized for different applications, one specializing in high radiometric output and speed, the other in radiometric accuracy and low fixed-pattern noise. The devices show improvements over our previous systems not only in complexity, but also in dynamic output, picture dependency performance and non-uniformity correction. Both systems have been built to operate on flight motion simulator tables.
