The sensor is a ‘standalone’ infrared proximity sensor, so no external control/driver circuitry is needed to play with it. You can directly connect a low-current 5V electromagnetic relay or ...

The power switch with infrared proximity sensor is intended for the recognition of obstructions at distances of a few millimetres to a few centimetres.

The stringent qualifications make the award a significant recognition in the defense industry’s competitive electro-optical and infrared sensor community.

Researchers have developed a smart sensor for DARPA that’s capable of identifying infrared -- without having to have its own power source.
