Teledyne DALSA, Inc. Secures Earth Observation Contract with Surrey Satellite Technology Limited

Teledyne DALSA, Inc. announced that it will partner with Surrey Satellite Technology Limited to develop a new multispectral sensor for an advanced earth observation application. With the help of Teledyne DALSA's expertise in multispectral imaging, the multimillion dollar development project is expected to begin delivering high resolution images during 2014. This earth observation application will utilize the DMC3 satellite constellation and demand higher resolution commercial earth imaging than any past project. The multispectral sensors developed by Teledyne DALSA will allow SSTL's subsidiary company and client, DMC International Imaging, to acquire higher resolution data for applications such as urban planning and environment and disaster monitoring. Teledyne DALSA's multispectral imaging solutions leverage its long experience in leading edge design, fabrication and packaging technologies to achieve multispectral sensitivity in a single fully miniaturized package. A single device can contain multiple imaging areas tailored to different multispectral bandwidths in a highly cost effective and reliable package. By integrating dichroic filters and image sensors in a single package, Teledyne DALSA can deliver highly efficient multispectral sensors.
