Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has released its next mid-wave infrared (MWIR) Neutrino Ground ISR imaging module.
The new ITAR-free Neutrino SX8-ISR 35-700 model with 1280×1024 resolution combines Teledyne FLIR’s MWIR camera module and continuous zoom (CZ) lens for integrators developing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, the company says.
“The Neutrino SX8-ISR 35-700 offers high-performance imaging, industry-leading operational lifetime, and simplified integration with market-leading control electronics from InVeo Designs LLC,” said Dan Walker, Vice President of Product Management, Teledyne FLIR.
“It comes standard with multiple connectivity options including Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), Camera Link and RS232/422 enabling faster data transfer and seamless integration into networked ISR, perimeter security, border surveillance and counter-UAS (CUAS) systems.”
The industry adopted and highly configurable AgileCore imaging electronics interface with the new Teledyne FLIR AVP, an advanced video processor that powers Prism AI and computational imaging at the edge.
The AVP, built on the latest Qualcomm QCS8550, runs Teledyne FLIR Prism AI software providing detection, classification and target tracking.
It also operates Prism ISP algorithms including super resolution, image fusion, atmospheric turbulence removal, electronic stabilization, local-contrast enhancement and noise reduction, to improve data fidelity and more accurate decision support.
The Neutrino Ground ISR series utilizes a long-life Linear Stirling cooler that provides a better mean-time-to-failure of greater than 27,000 hours and fully integrated CZ optics.
Developed and produced by Teledyne FLIR, formerly New England Optical Systems (NEOS), which joined FLIR in 2019, the CZ lenses provide a range of focal length options to maximize detection, recognition and identification (DRI) performance.
