BAE Systems offers infrared camera cores for military and rugged commercial applications

BAE Systems in Lexington, Mass., is offering thermal imaging technology designed for demanding military weapon sights as an off-the-shelf solution for rugged commercial and military applications. The BAE MIM500-series camera cores, based on its MicroIR uncooled infrared technology, has two versions. The MIM500 series comprises two versions. The MIM500X generates high-resolution, 640-by-480-pixel imagery is for applications requiring the highest available resolution. For less-demanding applications, the MIM500H offers 320-by-240-pixel image resolution. "The MIM500 series is the new off-the-shelf standard for ruggedness, temperature range, imaging performance, and advanced features in a compact, low-power uncooled IR camera core," says Kevin Grealish, BAE Systems MIM500 program manager. "Advanced features such as pixel-level gen-lock synchronization, progressive scan, and the ability to add customization boards directly into the module stack ensure that the MIM500 series can be tailored easily to meet the most demanding application requirements."
