Mars MW is in production at Sofradir for more than 10 years. Reference for MWIR 320x256 detectors, this IDCA is battlefield-proven and in operational systems all over the world.
This product is also used for commercial and space applications.
This high-performance IDCA takes full advantage of Sofradir is state of the art technologies.


Standard configurations

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


On-request configurations

- IDDCA with split Stirling-cycle linear cooler, for expanded lifetime & system integration facilitation.
