Grant Description: DARPA's MOSAIC program aims to overcome the limits of conventional imaging system design strategies and to demonstrate the feasibility of innovative design approaches providing for near-linear growth of optical information throughput with increasing imaging system scale. This will enable extraordinarily high imaging performance in reasonably small and affordable form factors. The specific MOSAIC challenge problem is to design and demonstrate an imaging system that achieves very high angular resolution over a wide field of view without paying the heavy penalties in size, weight, and temporal complexity or SNR degradation incurred by today's approaches. DARPA is particularly interested in integrated system approaches that exploit the co-design of optics, sensors, and processing to manage the transduction and management of enormous quantities of data from photons to information within compact, power efficient, and affordable form factor.
