TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT:
Night Vision Focal Plane Arrays (FPAs), Sensors, and Cameras

SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT
The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE), is conducting a technology
assessment regarding the U.S. night vision industry. The purpose of this assessment is to determine the nature of night vision focal plane arrays
(FPAs), sensors, and cameras manufactured for military-use only and dual-use (for both commercial and military use).
RESPONSE TO THIS SURVEY IS REQUIRED BY LAW
