Leonardo DRS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS) announced today that it has
been recognized with the prestigious 2023 Herschel Award for its
role in the development of advanced infrared detectors used in
next-generation infrared sights for ground combat vehicles. The
award was presented by the Military Sensing Symposium (MSS)
Materials and Detectors Specialty Group.
Leonardo DRS was joined by two other recipients that also made
significant contributions to the development of the infrared
technology known as 3rd Generation Focal Plane Arrays (FPAs), that
have radically improved long-range imaging capabilities for defense
applications.
The new FPAs are the core of the 3rd Generation Forward Looking
Infrared (3GEN FLIR) program, which enables the detection,
recognition, and identification of military targets from civilian
targets in operating environments and conditions. The deployment of
this technology represents a long-term growth opportunity for
DRS.
The Herschel Award is presented to an organization or individual
that has demonstrated a major contribution to infrared device
science and/or technology during the last five years. The stringent
qualifications make the award a significant recognition in the
defense industry’s competitive electro-optical and infrared sensor
community. This is the company’s fifth Herschel Award.
“We are humbled by the recognition by the Military Sensing
Symposium for our extensive work in the complex area of advanced
sensing. The development of the 3GEN FLIR FPA has been evolving for
the past decade at DRS with close collaboration with the US Army to
bring this critical technology to our military personnel to provide
an advantage on the battlefield,” said Jerry Hathaway Senior
Vice-President and General Manager of the Leonardo DRS
Electro-Optical and Infrared Systems business unit. “Our
scientists, engineers, operations and program teams have led many
innovative developments, dating back to the advent of the first
infrared sensors in the early 1960s, and the development of these
next-generation infrared sensors continues to build on our heritage
of innovation.”
The 3GEN FLIR technology combines both Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR)
and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) sensing capabilities into a single,
high-definition sensor. It enables extended range and improved
situational awareness over today’s widely fielded 2nd Generation
LWIR-only systems and is a key enabler for the next generation of
FLIR sights, providing significant improvements in range and
resolution under a full spectrum of degraded weather and
battlefield conditions.
About the Military Sensing Symposium
The MSS is a joint U.S. Government, industry and academia
organization broken into specialty groups that provides a forum for
the presentation, discussion and dissemination of information on
key technologies related to sensing and applications of these
sensors. Specialty groups include areas such as Detectors, Passive
Sensing, Materials, Battlefield Survivability, Electro-Optical
Infrared Counter Measures, Radar, Active Electro-Optical Systems
and others. The Herschel Award is named after Sir William Frederick
Herschel, who is widely recognized as the first person to discover
infrared radiation and is presented to an organization or
individual that has demonstrated a major contribution to infrared
device science and/or technology during the prior five years.
