Infrared Materials’ FLADE-R1 is a USB-powered dual-sensor flash detector, dual, angled with IR sensor which provides an angle to flash (within a single plane). This flash detector is ideal for applications such as muzzle flash detection and active protection systems thanks to its AC coupled, matched filter processing to detect flash events in the 1 to several millisecond range.
The flash detector comes with software that controls sensor gain, allowing the matching of the 2 sensor channels and the system can be tailored to the range of expected flash events. The software can also control trigger sent points, meaning the false error rate is based on trigger threshold setting. The detector preamp boards have sockets for quick removal and replacement of IR detectors.
