    Ok, that is smart. That would probably get the logic fast enough to keep up with the sensor “refresh rate” when pixel values are buffered from each sensor pixel. (My knowledge of digital camera sensors is a bit primitive. I read (or watched?) something a few months ago about image tearing caused by sensor scanning. This might matter, to a small degree? Dunno.)

    My guess was that the lenses would be for filtering through whatever IR band is important and it’s those coatings that are the quality bit: https://www.edmundoptics.com/c/ir-lenses/655/

    I am wondering if you can get lenses crafted specifically for jet engine IR signatures. If so, that would really boost the capabilities of any sensor…

      that’s for wii, imaging sensor in a missile will be much more complex and probably includes UV sensor as well (you’re not tracking a blob, but shape)
