Peraton Extends Commitment to Provide Orbital Analysis Support to Space Force

Peraton was awarded a recompete award by the U.S. Space Force to provide orbital analysis (OA) subject matter expertise support and OA and orbital management training for a variety of missions supporting the Peterson-Schriever Garrison (P-S GAR) headquartered in Colorado. The contract is worth up to $10 million over five years. Peraton will continue to be responsible for providing support for various U.S. Space Force space ground systems, equipment, software, databases, and concepts of operations for unit mission operations and future mission requirements.

BAE Systems Unveils High-Definition Uncooled Thermal Sensor

BAE Systems unveiled its full high-definition thermal camera core, Athena 1920, which combines exceptional infrared image clarity with a wide field of view. The compact, light, and low-power thermal camera core delivers superior imagery and uncompromising performance, and is ideal for long-range and demanding applications, including security, surveillance, and targeting systems. The Athena 1920 features a 1920 x 1200 vanadium oxide (VOx) uncooled microbolometer pixel array that builds on the company’s industry-leading 12-micron (µm) pixel technology. The camera’s 60Hz frame rate delivers exceptional clarity and minimizes motion blur in dynamic scenes, providing unparalleled detail of complex environments. The high-definition sensor offers nearly eight times the field of view of traditional camera cores, and with its small size (51x40x21 mm) and light weight (70 grams), is suited for high-performance applications where size, weight, power, and cost are important factors.
