• Since the start of science operations in 1993, the twin 10‐m W. M. Keck Observatory (WMKO) telescopes have continued to maximize their scientific impact and to produce transformative discoveries that keep the observing community on the frontiers of astronomical research. Upgraded capabilities and new instrumentation are provided through collaborative partnerships with Caltech, the University of California, and the University of Hawaii instrument development teams along with industry and other organizations. The observatory adapts and responds to the observers' evolving needs as defined in the observatory's strategic plan periodically refreshed in collaboration with the science community. This paper is an overview of the instrumentation projects that range from commissioning to early conceptual stages. An emphasis is placed on the detector, detector controllers, and capability needs that are driven by the desired future technology defined in the 2022 strategic plan.
