Intevac, Inc. announced it has received a $3.0 million contract award from Northrop Grumman Corporation for follow-on production deliveries of Intevac’s M506 LIVAR camera. Shipments from this award will begin in the first half of 2020. About LIVAR M506 Camera: The Intevac Laser Illuminated Viewing and Ranging M506 SWIR camera is designed for use in a wide range of military and security applications including long-range target identification system payloads. The LIVAR M506 camera is a compact camera system that enables system integration with an eye-safe laser illuminator to range and view images of targets up to 20 kilometers away. Intevac’s LIVAR® technology is analogous to RADAR but with a number of improvements. The system works day or night, regardless of available light. The illuminator is an eye safe laser and the reflected light is displayed as a digital video image. This enables real time, high-resolution imagery for target identification at much longer ranges than was previously possible. Intevac’s digital night-vision sensors, based on its patented Electron Bombarded Active Pixel Sensor (EBAPS®) technology, provide capability to the most advanced avionic fighting platforms in the U.S. Department of Defense inventory.
