Thermal imaging

Protecting military bases from small drones has become increasingly difficult. Commercially available unmanned aircraft are becoming more capable, flying farther, carrying larger payloads and...

Modern armored vehicles operate in increasingly complex environments where threats can emerge from any direction. Urban combat, drone attacks, poor weather, smoke, and nighttime...

Written By Or Shalom Over the past decade—and particularly in recent years—the lower airspace domain has evolved from a regulatory gray area into one of...

When someone falls overboard, time becomes the most critical factor in survival. Ships traveling at speed require time to stop, launch rescue craft, and...

Machine guns remain a core element of infantry firepower, but the way soldiers use them has changed significantly over the past two decades. Modern...

Modern sensing systems face a growing challenge: too much data. Traditional cameras capture and process full image frames continuously, even when little is changing...

Unmanned ground vehicles are increasingly used to reduce risk to personnel in complex environments, but they face a persistent weakness: exposure to small, hard-to-detect...

As drones take on a larger role in intelligence and surveillance missions, the demand for faster and more autonomous data processing is growing. Traditional...

Thermal cameras are widely used in drones and autonomous vehicles to detect obstacles in low-visibility conditions such as darkness, smoke or fog. By sensing...

Thermal imaging cameras are increasingly used in security, industrial inspection, automotive safety and emergency response. Yet one component has remained a persistent cost driver:...

Modern air operations are often complicated by poor visibility. Darkness, heavy weather, smoke and dust can all degrade sensors and make it harder to...

Seeing clearly in low visibility remains one of the hardest problems for modern forces. Smoke, fog, darkness, and cluttered terrain all degrade traditional optics,...

Entering a burning structure remains one of the most dangerous tasks for emergency responders. Extreme heat, toxic smoke, and unstable interiors often prevent crews...

Space-based thermal imaging satellites

Power grids were never designed for the load and risk profile they face today. Aging infrastructure, rising electricity demand, extreme weather, and tighter safety...

Operating after dark remains one of the most demanding conditions for soldiers and security forces. Night-vision equipment is essential, yet it is often expensive,...

Robots are increasingly deployed in environments that are unsafe or inaccessible for humans, from collapsed buildings and underground tunnels to industrial sites and disaster...

Modern naval forces face a difficult equation at sea. Warships are expected to operate closer to contested coastlines, where radar clutter, civilian traffic, and...

Finnish startup Distance Technologies has unveiled its Field Operator HUD (FOH), an innovative augmented reality (AR) system for combat vehicles. The system, which has...

High-performance infrared imaging normally requires exotic materials or cryogenic cooling, making it too costly for widespread commercial or security use. Conventional CMOS sensors—the same...

Written by Or Shalom Effective defense against threats such small, low-speed unmanned aerial systems (LSS - Low, Slow, Small), requires a multidimensional approach. Modern detection...

A new infrared sensor developed by Chinese researchers could reshape future surveillance and missile defense systems, offering speeds and accuracy far beyond current capabilities....
