A typical User's Guide is at:

Meanwhile, if you want to learn about Raytheon detectors, go to:
http://www.raytheon.com/es/esproducts/sesast/pdfs/infrared_detectors-2000.pdf

Again, we in the IDTL hope to be able to produce such wonderful
documents. By the way, note the section on "NGST Prototype Multiplexers" 
(section 4). These are the devices that we are testing.

If you are interesting in purchasing Raytheon space-based infrared
detectors, you can get the RFQ form at:
http://www.raytheon.com/es/esproducts/sesast/pdfs/RFQ.pdf

Note that they are already taking orders for an NGST prototype
detector (it is called "Orion"). Their catalog is at:
http://www.raytheon.com/es/esproducts/sesast/pdfs/256x256_InSb_Catalog.pdf

Finally, if you want to know how to build an array, take a look
at Figure 2 in:
http://www.raytheon.com/es/esproducts/sesast/pdfs/lg-formt_infrared_arrys_20.pdf

Of course, you'd still have to do some very detailed circuit 
and semiconductor design to produce an array, but that technology 
is readily available in the public domain. Again, in the IDTL,
we would not be able to produce such sensitive information about
detector architecture (unfortunately) because we don't make the
detectors. (Note section 2.1.2 in this document in regards to NGST).

Data exchange between NASA and its US contractors is not restricted by the ITAR. Hence, you should not be distracted by ITAR concerns.

If your management is getting wrapped around an ITAR axal in regard to your ULB activity, please have them call me.

Don, Seems to me that these prototypes are not commercially available, although derivatives or related devices may become so in time. I personally doubt that these specific parts will become commercially available to anyone besides the Govt.
I have some Export Control manuals here. The ECCN = Export Classification Control Number. From the training I had, the most likely ECCN for IR arrays seems to be 6A002b.2, which is described as "Optical sensors . . . being specified for operation in the wavelength range exceeding 400 nm but not exceeding 30,000 nm . . . "
On ITAR things, have you consulted with the in-house ITAR expert at GSFC? Jim Frost seems to know the ropes, & this is his specific job on NGST. [jimfrost@pop200.gsfc.nasa.gov, 301-286-5406] Frankly, 
I'm surprised the Institute seems to think it needs to get so deeply into this. The NASA centers, in the context of this testing activity, aren't triggered.
