The Cardinal 1280 HD is SCD next generation SWIR InGaAs 10μm pixel detector. The Cardinal 1280 HD is a high resolution, high sensitivity InGaAs detector which enables EO IR systems to utilize the SWIR wavelength for low light imaging, very long range day surveillance at severe weather conditions (smoke, dust, fog, rain). The detector integrates SCD (patent-protected) SNIR ROIC which enables the implementation of “see-spot” with SCD ALPD capability. The FPA consists of an all-digital ROIC and state-of-the-art planar InGaAs P-I-N diode array. The package includes a Thermo Electric Cooler (TEC) that can be utilized for cooling the FPA for low light level scenarios.
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.
