MSI engineers are working to develop an uncooled infrared detector that will enable the production of inexpensive IR cameras. Such a detector could penetrate such markets as vision assistance systems for automobiles and industrial monitoring devices. Most manufacturers have targeted the military and aerospace industries for IR detectors -- sectors that demand high performance and can afford to pay for it. IR cameras have often exceeded $10,000, a price out of reach for industrial applications.
