Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today announced the next mid-wave infrared (MWIR) Neutrino Ground ISR imaging module. The new ITAR-free Neutrino SX8-ISR 35-700 model with 1280x1024 resolution combines Teledyne FLIR’s world-class MWIR camera module and continuous zoom (CZ) lens for integrators developing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems.

“The Neutrino SX8-ISR 35-700 offers high-performance imaging, industry-leading operational lifetime, and simplified integration with market-leading control electronics from InVeo Designs LLC,” said Dan Walker, vice president of product management, Teledyne FLIR. “It comes standard with multiple connectivity options including Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), Camera Link, and RS232/422 enabling faster data transfer and seamless integration into networked ISR, perimeter security, border surveillance, and counter-UAS (CUAS) systems.”
The industry adopted and highly configurable AgileCore™ imaging electronics interface seamlessly with the new Teledyne FLIR AVP, an advanced video processor that powers Prism™ AI and computational imaging at the edge. The AVP, built on the latest Qualcomm QCS8550, efficiently runs Teledyne FLIR Prism AI software providing detection, classification, and target tracking. It also operates Prism ISP algorithms including super resolution, image fusion, atmospheric turbulence removal, electronic stabilization, local-contrast enhancement, and noise reduction, to improve data fidelity and more accurate decision support.
The Neutrino Ground ISR series utilizes a long-life Linear Stirling cooler that provides a superior mean-time-to-failure of greater than 27,000 hours and fully integrated CZ optics. Developed and produced by Teledyne FLIR, formerly New England Optical Systems (NEOS), which joined FLIR in 2019, the CZ lenses provide a range of focal length options to maximize detection, recognition, and identification (DRI) performance.
All Neutrino Ground ISR products are manufactured in the USA, classified under US Department of Commerce jurisdiction as EAR 6A003.b.4.a, and are not subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), providing greater flexibility for integration and development with foreign customers. Integrators also have access to a comprehensive software development kit (SDK), integration support, documentation from the highly qualified technical services team at Teledyne FLIR, and an industry-leading two-year warranty.
