Abstract
We report on our plans to upgrade the detector systems in the 2022–2024 time frame for three of the workhorse instruments (NIRC2, DEIMOS, and NIRES) operated by the W. M. Keck Observatory. The upgrades are done in collaboration with Observatory partner institutions and other Maunakea observatories. The main motivating factors behind these upgrades are to tackle obsolescence of hardware and software components, to boost observing efficiency, to enhance the instrument throughput, and to add new observing functionality.
