I just happened to be speaking with the sales/marketing guy on that project
last week in Thailand.  The sensor package is made by Texas Instruments'
Military Products group.  The thing we sell to GM/Cadillac is derived from an
Army IR sniper scope imager with the crosshairs function disabled and the
aspect ratio (width/height) adjusted.  I was asking him about "samples" :-)
for an aviation project.

I'll let you know...

Neat, altho there are time that I would have liked to have the
crosshair function enabled and linked to a machinegun.    (Just
kidding).
