GOLETA, Calif., May 22, 2023 — Teledyne FLIR’s Thermal by FLIR program for small, unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) is expanding. The Hadron 640R dual visible-thermal payload has been integrated with the recently announced Teal 2 drone, and FLIR’s Lepton 3.5 thermal micro-camera has been integrated with the BRINC LEMUR 2.

Thermal by FLIR is a cooperative product development and marketing program that supports original equipment manufacturers and product innovators who use Teledyne FLIR thermal camera modules in their products. It enables integrators to get to market faster, lower development costs, and accelerate business growth.
The Hadron 640R pairs a 640 × 512 resolution radiometric Boson thermal camera with a 64-MP visible camera in a single easy-to-integrate module. With a size-, weight-, and power-optimized design, it’s a dual-sensor payload for integration into sUAS, unmanned ground vehicles, robotic platforms, and AI-ready applications where battery life and run-time are mission-critical.
One of seven advanced sensors integrated into the LEMUR 2, the Lepton micro thermal camera is small enough to rest on the tip of a finger, providing 160 × 120 thermal resolution for capturing accurate, calibrated, and noncontact temperature data within a lightweight, low-power package.
