6:10 I suspect those "things" stuck to the top of the ceramic IC are a heater element and a temperature sensor, going to a regulation circuit, for keeping the ceramic IC underneath at a desired temperature; maybe it simply wasn't available in a low temperature tolerant version or maybe it contains something that needed a narrow temperature range to be precise enough for the purpose...

The mystery 4 wire part (at 6:20) by the transistor looks like a 4 wire temperture sensor, probably for compensation. Wrapping foil back over the top of is reccomended for cryo sensors and should increase accuracy at other temperatures too. The additional smaller sensor areas in the sensor package might be for offset compensation of the case temperature, functioning as blind pixels that are subtracted from the quadrant measurements to remove the thermal dependent offset.

My guess is we're seeing something similar to a Wheatstone bridge measured on all 4 resistors with a big diode in center. In other words the light comes at an angle, is filtered to reject the unneeded part, and passes trough that round filter window, shining on part of the semiconductor inducing a voltage. The Wheatstone circuit will tell which part was illuminated, hence where the missile is coming from. The micro controller interprets the data and sends a 2D bearing (0-360 degree) to the control unit. If I were the enemy all I'd want to know is the characteristics of that filter.

Very interesting. The optics look like an ultra-wide lens for large field coverage. The PSD surface is quite heavily distorted - I'm guessing that's for correcting both the distortion of the optics and the position non-linearity of the device itself.

It looks like the ring around the back of the IR sensor (with the black wire at each end, and a yellow wire about 2-3cm up from each end) is some kind of RF antenna. I suspect that it inducts a signal into the short wires on the other side of the ceramic board, and whatever reactive change in the sensor material - due to light from the environment - causes a phase shift in the signal that returns. The return paths are the 4 capacitors that are attached to the back of each quadrant, which block DC voltage from the bus (the resistors that are coming from that one line to all the connectors). I'm curious if the goofy wire coils and heavy (brass?) studs that go through the board are to keep the connection resistance as low as possible, so that it doesn't cause thermal 'ghosts'. It's an awful lot of expensive hardware to give the parameters: "Is a hotspot getting closer" and "Is a hotspot coming or going". It seems very easy to trick and defeat. I sure hope that tech this abhorrently outdated is not still being used; especially with only 2 stages of photo-multiplier plates. Meanwhile, in the '91 gulf war, relic battleships were detecting oil well fires (presumably on land) as missile launches (or alternately, they were anti-ship missiles... depending on which of the same-source stories you want to believe), and firing multi-million-dollar countermeasures in a desperate self defense, which triggered other ships to detect the decoys as threats, resulting in automated bullet-hosing of the decoys and the ships that launched them. Now THAT'S a high-dollar military budget in action, when you expend your munitions stores "just in case", while lesser militaries can't even detect those non-threats to misidentify them.

What year is this sensor from? Looks to be fairly old. Always interesting to see how they packaged electronics like this, especially when trying to remain concise. It seems like the basic operating principle is that the sensor filters most frequencies of light out except those which the missiles would emit, probably through a specific heat signature.

Оптическая линза специальной конфигурации фокусирует приходящий луч в маленькую точку на поверхности детектора. В зависимости от угла приходящего луча по отношению к линзе, точка будет формироваться на том или ином участке детектора. Далее, её местоположение на детекторе вычисляется по соотношению сопротивлений между всеми выводами детектора. Информация о месте положения точки и информация с гироскопов самолета уже используются для вычисления азимута атаки. (Комментарий изменил, так как понял, что это бортовой инфракрасный детектор ракетной атаки)

English Translation. Thank you @kardanium An optical lens of a special configuration focuses the incoming beam to a small point on the surface of the detector. Depending on the angle of the incoming beam in relation to the lens, a point will be formed on one or another part of the detector. Further, its location on the detector is calculated by the ratio of resistances between all detector outputs. The missile itself, receiving data from its gyroscope and from this homing head, calculates the location of the illuminated target relative to itself. After that, it calculates course errors and correction parameters and control signals to the rudder servos.

I guess it's basically a wide-angle lens with a filter and a position sensitive detector behind it. The shape of the detector probably somehow compensates for lens effects. The filter is probably sensitive to a thermal signature that's emitted by starting missiles. The position sensitive detector helps to identify the direction and course of the missile, maybe to help blind it with a laser. In addition to the specific infrared range that it's sensitive too, it's probably also fairly selective in the time domain, ignoring fires etc. And only reacting to sudden flashes of IR.

"The position sensitive detector helps to identify the direction and course of the missile, maybe to help blind it with a laser." "And only reacting to sudden flashes of IR." If I now understood correctly, those are countering each others. It can't be reacting to only sudden flashes of IR spectrum, if it as well can track the IR spectrum missile that's nose heats up by high speed even after the missile plume is gone after rocket motor shutoff. The Russian L-370 Vitebsk is system that uses four sensors similar to this to detect and track the IR signatures, the detection sensitivity is high enough to detect a SAM launch even from 200 km, and MANPADS size launch well past 10 km, but it will track and symbolize these launches only at 6-8 km ranges when it is considered a threat. So the system detects the launch, track the missile and warns the pilot when the missile is calculated by its trajectory to be a threat to aircraft. And then based to knowledge of launch range, missile time the system will time the release of chaff/flare at proper close range and then use IR lamp/laser turrets to fire a beam (IIRC about 2.5 degree cone) on the missile seeker to blind it, and the turret has as well a RF jammer to jam the SARH/ARH missiles seekers. The older system has only the fisheye lens to detect the short periods of flashes, that comes from launching a missile. As well when firing a cannon or explosion. So such old system gets triggered all the time and they can't track the threats so they don't know where missile is coming or what, and then reacts to them instantly. So if pilot has automatic flare On, the system will trigger flares release every time when a friendly tank at ground fire cannon or wingman launches rockets or missile. The triangulation of the threat can be done with two sensors, so you know the location that way.
