CCD vs. CMOS Sensors in Defense Cameras

Adimec blog has a nice post comparing CCD and CMOS sensors in defense applications. The sensor technology is compared on few criteria:

• NIR sensitivity (700 to 900nm) in order to have good contrast at long range
• Performance in harsh outdoor conditions
• Still images of very fast moving objects
• Long product life time to minimize the costly impact of frequent changes
• Low power to enable battery operation
• Small size, and low weight to upgrade legacy systems or allow for wearable solutions
