FLIR Boson+ 320

Made in the USA, the Boson longwave infrared (LWIR) OEM thermal camera module set the standard for size, weight, power, and performance (SWaP). Utilizing Teledyne FLIR's advanced image processing and several industry-standard communication interfaces, Boson enables applications from firefighting to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), security, and automotive development kits, all for as little as 600 mW.

The 12 µm uncooled detector comes in two resolutions – 640 × 512 or 320 × 256 – and multiple frame rate options. Radiometric models offer absolute temperature measurement. With multiple lens configurations also available, Boson offers the widest range of LWIR models from Teledyne FLIR and the most flexibility to integration programs. The easy-to-use Boson SDK, user-friendly GUI, and comprehensive product integration documentation further simplify OEM integrated into higher-level systems.

For a plug-and-play sensitivity upgrade, the new Boson+, provides an industry-leading NeDT of <20 mK.

ADVANCED PERFORMANCE WITH IMPROVED THERMAL SENSITIVITY CONTRAST, AND LATENCY
Industry leading NEDT of ≤20 mK extends thermal scene details and detection, recognition, and identification (DRI) performance

INDUSTRY-LEADING SIZE, WEIGHT, AND POWER (SWAP)
A full-featured VGA LWIR thermal camera module just 7.5 grams and less than 4.9 cm³

DESIGNED FOR INTEGRATORS
Shared mechanical/electrical compatibility across all Boson provides plug-and-play with existing designs
