VAST      Focal Planes, Visible and Midwave Infrared (MWIR)

Nova Sensors has produced and patented an innovative new sensor incorporating Variable Acuity Superpixel Technology (VAST     ).  This sensor has the ability to be reconfigured into nearly any spatial array format at the frame rate without frame loss.  Superpixelation increases frame rate while maintaining total field of view.
