- In August 2022, Teledyne FLIR released the Neutrino LC CZ 15-300, the latest model in the Neutrino IS series of mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) camera modules. This release, featuring integrated continuous zoom (CZ) lenses, impacts the market by offering OEMs and system integrators significant benefits in size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP+C). These advantages make the Neutrino IS series well-suited for applications such as airborne, unmanned, counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS), security, ISR, and targeting, driving demand for compact, high-performance MWIR solutions
- In July 2022, Silent Sentinel announced the addition of new HD-cooled MWIR thermal lenses to its portfolio, enhancing its offering with 1280 x 1024 resolution and a 10m pixel pitch as standard. This expansion impacts the market by significantly improving the range performance of its camera platforms, particularly in applications requiring high-definition infrared imagery. The inclusion of HD thermal lenses helps boost Silent Sentinel’s competitiveness, addressing the growing demand for higher-resolution, long-range MWIR solutions in security and surveillance markets
- In September 2021, Lynred launched the Galatea MW, a compact, low-power infrared (IR) detector designed for the MWIR segment. Its SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) design improves the autonomy and performance of battery-powered devices, positively impacting the market by offering energy-efficient and high-performance detectors. This innovation strengthens Lynred’s product portfolio and broadens its reach in applications where power efficiency and compact design are critical, further driving growth in the MWIR market
