Teledyne FLIR OEM, a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has confirmed that its lineup of dual-use thermal camera modules—Neutrino®, Boson®, Hadron™, and Lepton®—now meets National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliance standards for U.S. government contractors and OEMs. These modules facilitate the development of secure, high-performance thermal imaging solutions compliant with NDAA restrictions.
The NDAA prohibits the use of certain foreign-sourced video surveillance and telecommunications equipment in U.S. defense systems. Teledyne FLIR OEM’s NDAA-compliant thermal camera modules qualify for a broad range of government contracts at the federal, state, and local levels. They integrate easily into current and next-generation defense platforms, including ground vehicles, unmanned systems, threat detection, missile seekers, targeting devices, counter-UAS systems, precision strike assets, and soldier equipment.
The portfolio includes:
• Neutrino LC and SX8: Compact, high-temperature MWIR FPAs ideal for targeting, handhelds, and gimbal applications.
• Neutrino QX and SX12: High-resolution, fast-frame MWIR modules tailored for ISR, counter-drone, and wide-area motion imaging tasks.
• Neutrino IS: Combines Neutrino LC and SX with continuous zoom lenses for optimized size, weight, and power (SWaP).
• Neutrino Ground ISR: Integrated MWIR solutions for long-range, ground ISR applications.
• Boson: Uncooled LWIR radiometric camera modules available in 640×512 and 320×256 resolutions with varied frame rates.
• Boson+: Enhanced thermal sensitivity variant with noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) under 20 millikelvin.
• Boson+ CZ: LWIR module combined with a 5x continuous zoom lens for simplified, high-performance imaging.
• Hadron 640: Integrates a 64-megapixel visible camera and Boson thermal sensor into one module for seamless uncrewed system integration.
• Lepton: The world’s highest-volume uncooled LWIR thermal imaging module, enabling wide scalability.
All NDAA-compliant thermal modules are designed and assembled in the U.S., with trusted supply chains and final testing performed at Teledyne FLIR’s facility in Goleta, California. They are non-ITAR and regulated under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Commerce for export control.
