How advances in detector resolution must be accompanied by improvement in the quality of thermal camera lenses assemblies.
Example of low-SWaP thermal camera lenses design for cooled MWIR sensors: folded-optic 16-180mm f/3.6 zoom thermal camera lenses.
Example of low-SWaP thermal camera lenses design for cooled MWIR sensors: lightweight 20-275mm f/5.5 zoom thermal camera lenses.
We have successfully designed and implemented advanced IR zoom lenses with reduced SWaP that are ideal for harsh environmental.
conditions and constrained platforms, and open up new opportunities for next-generation UAV thermal imaging applications.
