Abstract
The development and widespread use of IR systems which utilize the recently developed thermal stabilized or uncooled Silicon microbolometer focal planes can be enhanced if attention is paid early on to developing specifications of performance which will allow for commonality between systems. An assertion is made that for a vast majority of systems, a common set of building block components can be created and, through economies of scale, enhance the early development and fielding of new systems without having to wait for an individual system's volume to become great enough to bring system costs down. This building block approach will be discussed along with some potential interface characteristics.
