As the U.S. Army produces third-generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensors, officials are exploring emerging capabilities that might be integrated into fourth-generation systems. FLIR ...

An Infrared close object sensor installed on an industrial vehicle detects objects or pedestrians located in a hazardous area. When it detects a problem an audio/visual indicator makes an alert, that ...

Lockheed Martin’s vaunted F-22 air superiority fighter is set to receive a new passive threat-detection system meant to increase survivability. The military airframer received a $270 million contract ...

Anduril's new Iris AI-enabled EO/IR sensor riding atop the skin of an unidentified tactical fighter platform. The fighter was likely manned but the company says Iris is primarily intended for unmanned ...

BAE Systems developed the Midwave Infrared Sounding of Temperature and Humidity in a Constellation for Winds or Mistic Winds to gather data on atmospheric temperature and water vapor for short-term ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military threats, by harnessing the focusing power of meta-optical systems.
