In this paper, we described the Infrared technologies (MCT, QWIP and microbolometers) characterization carried out by CELAR, in addition to the Electro-Optical (EO) characterization driven by ONERA, both backing up service programs of the French National Armaments Organization (DGA). After a brief description of the methodology and tools used, some results are given in order to show the construction and failure analysis contributions in the correlation of EO defects to visual defects and also, in the quality and preventive reliability improvements for these IR technologies, for a better satisfaction of the military end-users needs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
