📋 Tender Overview
Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today announced the ITAR-free Vue® TV128+ camera module, a high-performance, thermal-and-visible camera payload. Purpose-built for the Teledyne FLIR SIRAS™ professional uncrewed aerial system (UAS), it provides industry-leading thermal sensitivity for first responder missions and industrial inspections.
The Vue TV128+ series pairs a 128x-zoom, 16MP visible camera with a performance-leading 640x512 resolution FLIR Boson®+ thermal camera within a quick-connect gimbal. The Boson+ inside is an uncooled, longwave Infrared (LWIR) thermal camera module that offers improved thermal sensitivity of less than or equal to (?)20 mK, delivering unmatched thermal contrast and sharpness, day or night.
Like the existing radiometric Vue TV128, the new Vue TV128+ features patented Teledyne FLIR MSX® Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging software to further improve thermal imagery and situational awareness. MSX adds visible light details to thermal images in real time for greater clarity, embedding edge and outline detail onto thermal readings. Unlike image fusing, the merging of a visible light and thermal image, MSX does not dilute the thermal image or decrease thermal transparency.
“With the introduction of the Vue TV128+ for the SIRAS drone, we are excited to offer an even more advanced dual visible and thermal camera solution for professional UAV pilots,” said Mike Walters, Vice President, Teledyne FLIR. “Enhanced thermal visibility, especially in low-contrast environments, is a must-have tool for inspectors and public safety professionals.”
The Vue TV128+ is IP54-rated, providing operators with a rugged design built to handle the elements. It’s appropriate for a variety of missions requiring immediate decision support or post-flight processing, including industrial and utilities inspection, firefighting, law enforcement, and search and rescue.
The Vue TV128+ is available as part of a SIRAS drone bundle. It can also be purchased as a standalone payload option.
