Teledyne Flir

Drones are getting a whole lot smarter. Imaging and sensing technology specialist Teledyne FLIR has unveiled Prism Supervisor, an AI-powered software that takes drone missions to the next level. Whether it’s search and rescue, security, or military operations, this tool allows drones to think and act on their own — minimizing human effort while improving safety and efficiency.

Teledyne FLIR has announced an exciting new partnership with Gremsy, integrating its Boson radiometric thermal camera module into Gremsy’s gimbaled Vio F1 drone payload. This advanced, lightweight electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) payload is designed to tackle a range of critical missions, from infrastructure inspection to disaster relief, firefighting, search and rescue (SAR), and public safety operations.

Teledyne FLIR has introduced the Vue TV128+ camera module, a versatile dual-sensor payload for its SIRAS professional drone. This high-performance module combines thermal and visible imaging capabilities, making it ideal for utility inspectors, law enforcement, and emergency response teams.

As drone technology continues to evolve, so do concerns about data security and privacy among US drone professionals. A recent survey conducted by Teledyne FLIR highlights that a staggering 85% of drone professionals consider data security a crucial factor when selecting a drone platform. This sentiment echoes findings from the previous year, indicating a steady awareness of data protection issues.

Drone fleet management platform AirData has announced integration with Teledyne FLIR’s dual payload professional aircraft SIRAS. The partnership aims to enhance public safety and industrial missions by streamlining data management and operational readiness for drone users.

Japanese drone manufacturer ACSL has made a couple of exciting announcements today. The company has introduced a new thermal camera option for its SOTEN drones and also expanded its US team by appointing three leading industry figures to its advisory board.

Defense and security UAV specialist Teledyne FLIR Defense has unveiled the upgraded fourth-generation model of its highly touted Black Hornet drone, an aerial asset that has proven vital in surveillance and intelligence gathering work for Ukraine defense forces, among others.

In spite of the rash of largely protectionist blacklisting initiatives in the US justified by nominal data piracy motives, a new survey commissioned by drone and onboard tech specialist Teledyne FLIR indicates information leak risks remain a middling UAV purchasing criterion for US enterprise and public administrations operators.

The US Army will be receiving considerable reinforcements of tactical Black Hornet micro drones to its current fleet, under a nearly $94 million agreement Washington has signed with producer Teledyne FLIR Defense that also involves an undisclosed number of the tiny reconnaissance UAVs heading to Ukraine.

The defense unit of California tech company Teledyne FLIR has followed up on the $48 million contract it signed last year with Norway by finalizing a new deal to provide the nation’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) with a veritable fleet of Black Hornet nano drones destined for Ukraine’s defense efforts.

Radiation is one of the most dangerous threats to humans. You can’t smell it or hear it. But now there’s a new drone sensor payload in the market that can be used to quickly detect and identify radiation sources and radiological hazards from a safe distance.

Even as the ink dries on a $48 million deal to supply Norway with intelligence-gathering Black Hornet drones, California’s Teledyne Technologies is also moving quickly to make delivery on over 100 ground robots it has contracted with Germany’s army.
