  • FLIR Receives Orders from US Military Worth More than $70M for Centaur Unmanned Ground Vehicles

    FLIR Systems, Inc. announced that it has received more than $70 million in new orders for its advanced ground robots from the U.S. Armed Services. The U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps placed orders for nearly 600 FLIR Centaur® robots, including additional spares, antennas, and payload mounting kits. As a result, the U.S. Army awarded FLIR a $31.6 million contract increase for its Man Transportable Robot System Increment II (MTRS Inc. II) program. The new award raises the ceiling value of the original MTRS Inc. II contract from roughly $158 million to $190 million.

  • FLIR A50 and A70 Thermal Cameras Offer Turnkey Solutions for Efficient Data Analysis

    When decision makers seek to integrate new hardware into their automation process, they are often looking at a few key areas – the ease of use, price point, features, and the ability to utilize the hardware at multiple points throughout their system. The new A50 and A70 thermal cameras come in three options – Smart, Streaming, and Research & Development to fit the needs of professionals across a variety of industries – from manufacturing to utilities to science.  The new cameras offer improved accuracy of ±2°C or ±2% temperature measurement, compared to the previous accuracy of ±5°C, or ±5% temperature measurement. The cameras all include an IP66 rating, along with a small, compact size with higher resolution options compared to previous versions.

  • What are IR Camera Lenses Made Of?

    IR camera lenses are made out of germanium, a semi-metallic element. But why use this specialized element instead of a more common substance like glass? This article explains why germanium is used to make IR camera lenses.

  • Watertown Public Library Lends out FLIR C5 to Patrons

    The Watertown Free Public Library in Massachusetts recently launched a “Library of Things” lending program—a collection of non-traditional library materials that can be checked out for a week just like a book or a DVD. Among the collection is a FLIR C5, a handheld thermal imaging camera that patrons can use for a variety of home and DIY applications.

  • Unmatched Maritime Awareness with Cooled Thermal Imaging

    Thermal imaging is a longstanding tool for improved marine awareness. Its ability to detect vessels, objects, and body heat in complete darkness and through atmospheric obscurants allows safer, 24/7 navigation. Not all thermal cameras are created equal, variables such as sensor resolution, lens size, and whether the camera is cooled or uncooled influence the image’s clarity and range.
