Tiny infrared sensors give drones sharper vision in darkness without adding bulk
SMRTR summary
The U.S. Army's DUTCH initiative is partnering with Teledyne FLIR OEM to develop smaller, cheaper, and more powerful thermal imaging sensors for military drones and other systems. The program focuses on reducing sensor size and power use without losing image quality, making infrared cameras practical for more platforms. Success could also support domestic defense manufacturing and the Army's broader push to expand drone capabilities.
