(AGENPARL) – lun 04 aprile 2022 Teledyne FLIR Releases Boson+ Longwave Infrared Thermal Camera Module with Industry-Leading
Sensitivity of 20 mK or Less
Enhanced LWIR thermal performance with size, weight, and power (SWaP) leadership provides low-risk
development for unmanned platforms, security applications, handhelds, wearables, and thermal sights
GOLETA, Calif., April 4, 2022 Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today
announced the Boson+ with thermal sensitivity of 20 millikelvin (mK) or less, making it the most sensitive
longwave infrared (LWIR) camera in the market. It shares the industry-leading SWaP of the widely deployed
and real-world-proven Boson thermal camera module. With identical mechanical, electrical, and optical
interfaces, the Boson+ is a drop-in upgrade that also includes updated image processing to deliver enhanced
sharpness and contrast for defense and commercial applications.
Improved thermal sensitivity and automatic gain control (AGC) allows for more scene detail in the image for
better detection, specifically in outdoor low-contrast scenes, said Dan Walker, vice president, product
management, OEM cores, Teledyne FLIR. Improved thermal performance and proven market-leading
reliability make it the ideal uncooled thermal module for integration in unmanned platforms, security
applications, handhelds, wearables, and thermal sights.
Made in the USA, the Boson+ includes a redesigned 640 x 512 resolution, 12-micron pixel pitch detector with
a noise equivalent differential temperature (NEDT) of 20 mK or less which offers significantly enhanced
detection, recognition, and identification (DRI) performance. Improved video latency enhances tracking,
seeker performance, and decision support.
The shared Boson series interface and access to the US-based Teledyne FLIR Technical Services team
reduce development risk and shorten time to market. Truly designed for integrators, the Boson+ is available
with a variety of lens options, comprehensive product documentation, an easy-to-use SDK, and a user-
friendly GUI. Boson+ is dual use and classified under US Department of Commerce jurisdiction as EAR
6A003.b.4.a.
The Teledyne FLIR Boson+ is available for purchase globally from Teledyne FLIR and its authorized dealers.
