Teledyne FLIR Boson+ CZ 14-75 thermal camera

Teledyne FLIR has launched the Boson+ thermal camera module with its factory-integrated 14–75 mm continuous zoom (CZ) lens. With seamless optomechanical integration, the thermal camera is designed to reduce development and operational risk and costs. The thermal camera is suitable for unmanned aerial vehicles, perimeter surveillance, light armoured vehicle situational awareness and targeting, and soldier sighting systems.

The thermal camera features flexible and advanced lens control electronics, 20 MilliKelvin (mK) thermal sensitivity and US-based integration support, to streamline development for applications requiring high-performance infrared zoom capability.

By completing the factory alignment at Teledyne FLIR, integrators receive a thermal zoom solution that eliminates boresight wander and other image artifacts while zooming. Critical to dynamic missions, Teledyne FLIR’s advanced lens control electronics provide thermal gradient compensation to maintain focus across the full operational temperature range while object range compensation maintains focus through zoom, even for near targets. Built-in tests (BIT) run at startup, continuously, or are commanded to provide real-time notification of issues.

The thermal camera also features the 12-micron pixel pitch 640x512-resolution thermal detector offering enhanced detection, recognition and identification (DRI) performance, especially in low-contrast and low-visibility environments. Customers also have access to the US-based Teledyne FLIR Technical Services team for integration support. The thermal camera is dual use and classified under the US Department of Commerce jurisdiction as EAR 6A003.b.4.a.

The Teledyne FLIR Boson+ CZ 14-75 is available for purchase globally.
