	EBAPS®: Next Generation, Low Power, Digital Night Vision   (PDF, 2930k) The paper describes Intevac’s new Low Light Level Camera sensor technology that has been developed for a variety of low light level imaging applications. The new sensor is an Electron Bombarded Active Pixel Sensor (EBAPS). EBAPS technology is based on use of a GaAs photocathode derived from Generation-III image intensifier technology in proximity focus with a high resolution, backside thinned, CMOS Active Pixel Sensor (APS) imager anode.
	Impact of Speckle on Laser Range-Gated Shortwave Infrared Imaging System Target Identification Performance   (PDF, 1610k) Speckle, an image artifact inherent in laser illuminated imaging systems, results from interference patterns caused by the coherent illumination. Laser speckle degrades target identification performance but can be reduced by averaging successive LRG-SWIR images. The paper summarizes the first research attempt at quantifying target identification performance degradation associated with laser speckle.
	Low Cost Sensors for UGVs   (PDF, 650k) Advances in sensors, machine perception, and advanced computer architectures have made a semi-autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) a reality. While still requiring a man in the loop with a low bandwidth communication link for supervisory planning and control, the UGV can carry out numerous mission activities otherwise performed by manned systems. The paper presents an NVESD concept for a cost effective targeting system along with a discussion of sensors and concepts for autonomous mobility.
	TEP Based Eyesafe Gated Laser Imagers: Status and Applications   (PDF, 660k) The paper summarizes characteristics and performance of a TE-EBCCD based camera for application to 1.5?m illumination wavelength range gated systems.
