BLACKBIRD SXGA is SCD state-of-the-art MWIR High Definition detector, which integrates SCD newest
technology of InSb10μm pixel. This 1280×1024 FPA is based on SCD’s mature InSb technology and includes a digital readout circuit implemented in advanced CMOS process. The FPA overall size is ~70% larger than SCD’s PelicanD VGA, 15µm format detector. Nevertheless, it is packaged in the same PelicanD Dewar. The proximity electronic board supports Video Engine capabilities at low power consumption. This yields a very large format detector with outstanding image quality, high frame rate, and compact size.
Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
