The subject of this study is the design of a camera, which has maximum volume of 50 mm x 50 mm x 300 mm, using short infrared wavelength providing Rayleigh criteria. Firstly, the required flux per pixel has been calculated. Throughout these calculations, atmospheric losses have been obtained by MODTRAN program. Also signal to noise ratio has been examined at minimum and maximum integration time intervals. The focal length of the camera has been calculated as it receives 1 m resolution from 8 km distance. Moreover, the lens materials have been used as N-F2, LIF and BaF2 in this six lens system. The design has been done using ZEMAX optical design program and the performance of the system at focal plane was investigated by the help of Seidel aberrations, Modulation transfer Function (MTF), Spot diagram and Optical Path Difference (OPD) fan plot analyses.
