Teledyne FLIR OEM, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today announced that its lineup of dual-use thermal imaging modules—including Neutrino®, Boson®, Hadron™, and Lepton®—has achieved compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requirements for U.S. government contractors and OEMs. These NDAA-compliant modules enable the creation of secure, high-performance thermal imaging systems that meet government standards.
The NDAA restricts the use of video surveillance and telecommunications equipment from specific foreign sources in U.S. defense systems. Teledyne FLIR OEM’s compliant thermal camera modules qualify for a broad spectrum of federal, state, and local contracts. They are compatible with both legacy and next-generation defense platforms such as ground vehicles, uncrewed systems, missile seekers, threat detection systems, targeting equipment, counter-UAS, precision strike platforms, and soldier systems.
The performance-driven portfolio includes:
• Neutrino LC and SX8: Compact, high-operating temperature MWIR focal plane arrays for handheld, gimbal, and targeting applications.
• Neutrino QX and SX12: Fast-frame, high-resolution MWIR cameras designed for ISR, counter-drone, and wide-area motion imaging.
• Neutrino IS: Combines continuous zoom lenses with Neutrino LC and SX modules for high-performance, SWaP-optimized imaging.
• Neutrino Ground ISR: Ready-to-use MWIR solutions for ground-based ISR system integrators.
• Boson: 12 µm uncooled LWIR radiometric camera modules available in two resolutions with multiple frame rate options.
• Boson+: Enhanced Boson model offering top-tier thermal sensitivity with NETD below 20 millikelvin.
• Boson+ CZ: High-performance LWIR module paired with a 5x continuous zoom lens for simplified integration.
• Hadron 640: Combines a 64-megapixel visible camera with a 640×512 Boson thermal sensor into one module for streamlined use in uncrewed platforms.
• Lepton: The world’s most produced LWIR thermal imaging module, supporting scalable thermal innovation.
All NDAA-certified thermal imaging modules are developed and manufactured in the U.S., with trusted supply chains and final quality assurance at Teledyne FLIR’s Goleta, California site. They are non-ITAR and regulated by the U.S. Department of Commerce for export.
