- Teledyne FLIR
The Neutrino® IS series is a range of mid-wave infrared (MWIR) camera cores fitted with zoom lenses, optimised for size, weight, performance and cost. They are compact, configurable, and easy to integrate in high-end EO systems.
The Neutrino Ground ISR Series from Teledyne FLIR delivers turnkey mid‑wavelength infrared (MWIR) camera systems with continuous zoom optics, engineered for rapid integration into intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) applications. These modules combine world‑class cooled MWIR sensor cores, industry‑standard imaging electronics, and factory‑optimised continuous zoom lenses to provide integrators with high‑resolution thermal imaging, robust performance, and reduced development risk and time to market.
Built NDAA compliant and ITAR‑free, the Neutrino Ground ISR cameras serve a broad range of use cases, including ground‑based ISR, perimeter and border surveillance, and counter‑UAS (CUAS) systems. With multiple focal plane array (FPA) resolutions and optical configurations available, the series supports different detection, recognition, and identification (DRI) needs and system designs. All models are compatible with Teledyne FLIR’s Prism™ AI detection, tracking, and classification models and ISP libraries for advanced image processing and analytics.
