SCORPIO MW 640x512

Scorpio MW is the standard for VGA 15 µm pitch MWIR IDCA.
This IDCA has been developed to replace the MWIR QVGA format in military systems.
Scorpio MW is also ruggedized for harsh environments.
This high-performance IDCA takes full advantage of Sofradir is state of the art technologies.

Standard configurations

- Integrated Detector Dewar Cooler Assemblies (IDDCA) with miniature Stirling-cycle rotary coolers, for compact, low power configuration.

On-request configurations

- IDDCA with split Stirling-cycle linear cooler, for expanded lifetime & system integration facilitation.
- Detector Dewar Assembly (DDA) without or with Joule-Thomson cooler (pressurized gas cooling).
