Teledyne FLIR OEM Enhances Defense Readiness with NDAA-Compliant Thermal Imaging Solutions

Full Suite of NDAA-Compliant Thermal Camera Modules from Teledyne FLIR OEM Empowers OEMs to Build Secure, High-Performance Systems.

Teledyne FLIR OEM, a part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY), today announced National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliance of its lineup of dual-use Neutrino®, Boson®, Hadron™, and Lepton® thermal camera modules for United States government contractors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). These modules enable the development of secure, high-performance thermal imaging systems in compliance with the NDAA.


The NDAA restricts the use of video surveillance and telecommunications equipment from certain foreign sources in U.S. defense systems. Teledyne FLIR OEM's NDAA-compliant thermal camera modules are eligible for a wide range of federal, state, and local government contracts. They are easily integrated into both existing and next-generation defense platforms, including ground vehicles, uncrewed systems, threat warning, missile seekers, targeting systems, counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS), precision strike platforms, and soldier systems.

"Our thermal imaging technologies provide critical situational awareness and decision support for the U.S. Armed Forces and allied nations," said Jared Faraudo, vice president, product management, Teledyne FLIR OEM. "The comprehensive portfolio of NDAA-compliant Neutrino, Boson, Hadron, and Lepton camera modules reflects our significant investment and strict adherence to meeting congressional standards through SWaP-optimized (Size, Weight, and Power) thermal imaging solutions."
Performance-Driven NDAA-Compliant Imaging Portfolio:

Neutrino LC and SX8: High-operating temperature (HOT) mid-wave infrared (MWIR) focal plane array (FPA) technology in a compact format—ideal for gimbals, handhelds, and targeting systems.

Neutrino QX and SX12: High-resolution, fast-frame MWIR models designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), counter-drone, and wide-area motion imaging (WAMI) missions.

Neutrino IS: Combines Neutrino LC and SX camera modules with continuous zoom (CZ) lenses to offer high-performance, SWaP-optimized imaging solutions.

Neutrino Ground ISR: Turnkey MWIR solutions for integrators developing long-range, ground-based ISR systems.

Boson: 12 µm uncooled long-wave infrared (LWIR) radiometric camera modules available in 640 × 512 or 320 × 256 resolutions with multiple frame rate options

Boson+: High-performance Boson variant offers industry-leading thermal sensitivity with a noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) of less than 20 millikelvin.

Boson+ CZ: Combines the Boson+ LWIR camera module and 5x CZ lens, offering a high-performance imaging solution and simplified integration.

Hadron 640: Integrates a 64MP visible camera with a 640 × 512 radiometric Boson thermal sensor in a single module for streamlined integration in uncrewed systems.

Lepton: World's highest-volume LWIR thermal imaging module, enabling scalable thermal innovation.

All NDAA-compliant thermal imaging models are designed and assembled in the U.S., with trusted supply chains and final testing conducted at the company's Goleta, California facility. All modules are also non-ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and are classified under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Commerce for export.
