Teledyne FLIR OEM Launches Boson SX8: First NDAA-Compliant 8μm SXGA LWIR Thermal Camera Module
Teledyne FLIR OEM has unveiled the Boson SX8 and Boson SX8-CZ 15–75 long-wave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera modules, featuring 1280×1024 resolution and 8μm pixel pitch. These are the first SXGA-class LWIR modules to achieve NDAA compliance, delivering optimized SWaP performance for drone systems, defense contractors, and security integrators.
Highlights
- Teledyne FLIR OEM launched the Boson SX8 and Boson SX8-CZ 15–75, the first NDAA-compliant SXGA-class LWIR thermal camera modules available on the market.
- Both modules feature a 1280×1024 resolution sensor with an 8μm pixel pitch, optimized for size, weight, and power (SWaP).
- The Boson SX8-CZ 15–75 variant includes a continuous zoom lens covering a 15–75mm focal range for flexible field-of-view adjustment.
- NDAA compliance makes the Boson SX8 series eligible for U.S. defense and public safety procurement, targeting drone integrators and defense contractors.
- Intended applications include UAV payloads, handheld equipment, vehicle-mounted systems, search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and environmental monitoring.
Teledyne FLIR OEM Unveils Industry-First NDAA-Compliant 8μm SXGA LWIR Thermal Camera Module
Teledyne FLIR OEM has officially launched the Boson SX8 and Boson SX8-CZ 15–75, two long-wave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera modules that mark a significant milestone as the first SXGA-class, 8μm pixel-pitch thermal imaging modules on the market to comply with the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Key Specifications
Both new models are built around a 1280 × 1024 resolution sensor with an 8μm pixel pitch, optimized for size, weight, and power (SWaP) without compromising thermal imaging performance. The Boson SX8-CZ 15–75 variant adds a continuous zoom lens, enabling greater flexibility in field-of-view adjustment to suit a wide range of operational requirements.
NDAA Compliance Advantage
As governments worldwide place increasing scrutiny on supply chain security, NDAA compliance has become a critical procurement threshold for defense and public safety applications. As the first product in its class to meet this standard, the Boson SX8 series offers drone system integrators, defense contractors, and security solution providers a trusted thermal imaging option that meets stringent regulatory requirements.
Applications
Thanks to its optimized SWaP characteristics, the Boson SX8 series is well-suited for integration into unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), handheld devices, vehicle-mounted systems, and fixed surveillance platforms. Target use cases span search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, and defense and security missions.
