Contributions provided by ISR assets in the operational theaters in Iraq and Afghanistan have been widely documented in press reporting. While the United States continues to increase investments in ISR capabilities, other nations not friendly to the United States will continue to seek countermeasures to U.S. capabilities. The Technology Warning Division of the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Defense Warning Office (DWO) has the critical responsibility, in collaborations with other components of the intelligence community (IC), for providing U.S. policymakers insight into technological developments that may impact future U.S. warfighting capabilities. To this end, the IC requested that the National Research Council (NRC) investigate and report on key visible and infrared detector technologies, with potential military utility, that are likely to be developed in the next 10-15 years. This study is the eighth in a series sponsored by the DWO and executed under the auspices of the NRC TIGER (Technology Insight-Gauge, Evaluate, and Review) Standing Committee. 606 $aInfrared technology$xResearch 606 $aInfrared detectors$xResearch 606 $aPhotons$xResearch 615 0$aInfrared technology$xResearch. 615 0$aInfrared detectors$xResearch. 615 0$aPhotons$xResearch. 676 $a621.38928 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bStanding Committee for Technology Insight--Gauge, Evaluate, and Review. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965117003321 996 $aSeeing photons$94365359 997 $aUNINA
