Medium-wave infrared camera to counter unmanned aircraft introduced by FLIR

摘要

FLIR Systems Inc. in Wilsonville, Ore., is introducing the FLIR Ranger HDC MR high-definition medium-wave infrared (MWIR) border-security surveillance system to counter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), illegal drug smuggling, and human trafficking. The Ranger HDC MR can detect illegal activities even in degraded weather condi- tions using embedded computing analytics and image processing to reduce the cognitive workload and enable operators to distinguish quickly between true threats and false alarms. The high-performance HD thermal imaging system extends border security mission capability with a built-in fog filter to see through fog and haze, as well as an optional Merlin ASX turbulence filter to see through heat and air turbulence. The system's high-definition thermal imager has a 1280-by-720-pixel detector and a 1920-by-1080-pixel HD color TV camera. The Ranger HDC MR surveillance camera also is ready to host on-board artificial intelligence (AI) image processing for fast decision-making, and includes an cyber security tool that scans each software release to help ensure the system is protected from cyber attacks.
