UTC Aerospace Systems has opened a new facility in Princeton, NJ, for its Sensors Unlimited business, which develops sensing and imaging solutions in shortwave infrared (SWIR) technology. The 90,000+ sq.ft. facility houses a custom-built, state-of-the-art wafer fabrication area, along with packaging, assembly, and test labs.
The facility focuses on the research and development of SWIR cameras, which create visibility beyond what the naked eye can see. The technology allows users to see in daylight and low light, through dust, haze and smoke. This is a key advantage in military and law enforcement applications. The imaging technology also has broad application across commercial and industrial segments.
Previously located at a smaller site in Princeton, the new site now accommodates more than 100 employees, including 50 engineers and has room for future expansion.
