The reported FPA size is 1.04MP, but Raytheon Reticle Image Composition Lithography (RICL) technology is said to allow stitching arrays together to fabrication of FPAs up to 16×16k. The readout noise is 7e-. The ADC resolution is 13b.
Hybrid Visible Imagers Do Not Die

SPIE published a news article on Raytheon doing hybrid FPAs for visible imaging in space: "Advances in large-format visible focal plane technology". The array is based on 8um PIN photodiodes attached to the readout dies using "direct-bond-hybridization process". FPAs are radiation-hard to >200kRad making them suitable for NASA interplanetary missions.
