■ “Thermal by FLIR®” Program
ACSL, Inc.’s entry into the Thermal by FLIR® Program marks a major milestone in the company’s ongoing expansion into the U.S. market. The program, developed by Teledyne FLIR OEM, OEM Division of Teledyne FLIR LLC, supports OEM companies that use Teledyne FLIR thermal camera modules with seamless integration of thermal camera modules in their manufacturing processes and provides joint go-to-market support for new technologies. Both companies are collaborating on next-generation solutions that integrate ACSL’s drones with FLIR’s latest thermal modules and Prism ISP technology.

■ Upgrades to the SAMO Thermal Camera Payload for SOTEN
SAMO is a swappable, NDAA-compliant thermal payload for SOTEN developed for the U.S. market. It features an integrated International Traffic in Arms (ITAR)-free dual thermal-visible Teledyne FLIR OEM Hadron™ 640R camera module, which combines a 64MP visible camera with the 640×512 Boson® radiometric thermal camera module. Recent upgrades include a new 20X zoom functionality, and as part of the FLIR collaboration, SAMO will gain MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) compatibility by year’s end. MSX technology combines sharp edge detail from the visible camera with thermal imagery for enhanced context and operational insight.
