Imaging Systems

BAE Systems designs and manufactures both cooled and uncooled thermal imaging systems for defense and commercial applications.

Surveillance and security — BAE Systems’ fixed-mount, uncooled infrared cameras are used to safeguard borders, ports, nuclear power plants, and other high-value or high-danger assets. Based on the company’s uncooled MicroIR® core technology, the cameras provide superior imagery independent of darkness, smoke, and other common obscurants.
Law enforcement — BAE Systems’ handheld infrared cameras are used to monitor suspicious activity, track and apprehend suspected criminals, and locate missing persons. They provide an advantage to law enforcement professionals in an environment often compromised by complete darkness and/or adverse weather conditions.
Commercial off-the-shelf ─ BAE Systems’ uncooled infrared solutions are available to research and development labs, integrators, and original equipment manufacturers to satisfy their IR sensor requirements during product development in an effort to minimize cost and accelerate time to market.
Thermal weapon sights ─ BAE Systems offers an advanced, next-generation family of thermal sights for light, medium, and heavy weapon applications. Developed in partnership with PEO Soldier Sensors and Lasers, the sights enable individual and crew-served weapons gunners to see deep into the battlefield, increasing their surveillance and target acquisition range.
