Low Cost Thermal Imager - Manufacturing (LCTI-M)

This is a Joint Effort of DARPA and Raytheon, Lightpath and some other small companies. The goal is to get a Thermal Imager on a chip, camera, IR Detector, everything but the display. That would represent a huge reductions in SWAP, cost and availability, we read reports of shortages of these components in Europe just weeks ago. Since it's DARPA who knows how far along they are but once achieved this would enable thermal devices not only in the military but everywhere. I heard reports that the next Generation of NVG is really small. Maybe they've already done, who knows?
