Abstract

This paper addresses the challenges in creating and developing an automated factory for the production of mosaic focal plane arrays. It is shown how the modular concept has been employed to its maximum benefit in the development of the array. Finally, it is demonstrated how solid strategic planning can result in significant benefits beyond the immediate solution for the problem at hand; that is, turning a point solution into an industry solution.
