The X27 Ospreyis a Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS), Technology Readiness Level (TRL-8) product that provides end users with an ULLL, true military, color night vision imaging capability. this digital X27 Osprey contains a true Color night vision Visible and Near Infrared (VISNIR) sensor, which is a technological breakthrough in night vision technology. High performance, low noise, high sensitivity, and outstanding true LLL color imagery are just a few features offered by the system. The Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) ColorVision®sensor can be integrated into night vision sights, scopes, monoculars, binoculars, drivers aid, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), unmanned, and a wide array of defense, homeland security, border, ground, mobile, marine, airborne, military, wildlife, documentary, specialty combat camera photography, Astro/aerial/airborne/space remote imaging, security, and surveillance applications. The X27 Osprey utilizes specialty video processing on chip and on the filters, as well as advanced image enhancement algorithms, giving it the capability to collect a great deal of light, and retain full sensitivity while maintaining the color information of an image. During evening events, the X27 Ospreyis able to display daylight, or near daylight level, true color imagery at real time full TV frame rates (typically 60Hz), without image lag, and with minimal image noise or grain. Notably, the X27 Ospreycan withstand direct sunlight and direct laser hits with no adverse effects. This is attributed to the X27 Osprey’s solid state, Broad Spectrum Thin Film Array (BSTFA) high fidelity, large pixel-pitch sensor architecture, in contrast to the currently fielded image tube intensifiers’ analog technology.
