Teledyne FLIR Expands Thermal Imaging Capabilities with Boson®+ and Hadron™ 640 Modules
At Lone Star Drone, we stay at the cutting edge of drone technology to provide our clients with the most advanced aerial solutions. The latest innovation from Teledyne FLIR, the Boson® Radiometric (Boson-R) thermal camera module and the Hadron™ 640R dual thermal-visible camera module, marks a significant leap in thermal imaging technology. These new modules offer high-performance radiometric thermal imaging designed for drones, robotics, and industrial applications, further solidifying Teledyne FLIR’s reputation as a leader in thermal imaging solutions.
Boson+: Next-Level Thermal Imaging
The Boson+ is an advanced version of Teledyne FLIR’s highly regarded Boson thermal camera. It offers precise temperature measurement capabilities, making it ideal for applications such as:
Industrial inspections (detecting overheating components, equipment monitoring)
Search and rescue missions (locating heat signatures of missing persons)
Public safety and firefighting (detecting hotspots, assessing fire spread)
With thermal sensitivity below 50 mK and onboard calibration, the Boson+ provides accurate temperature readings across a variety of environments, making it an invaluable tool for professionals requiring precise thermal data.
Hadron 640: Dual Thermal-Visible Imaging for Enhanced Situational Awareness
The Hadron 640 series integrates a 640x512-resolution thermal camera with a high-definition visible-light camera. This dual-sensor system is designed for seamless integration into UAVs and robotics, providing enhanced situational awareness for applications like:
Defense and security (border patrol, surveillance, reconnaissance)
Infrastructure inspections (power lines, solar panels, pipelines)
Precision agriculture (monitoring crop health, detecting irrigation issues)
The compact and lightweight design of the Hadron 640R ensures minimal impact on drone flight performance while delivering high-quality thermal and visible imagery for mission-critical applications.
Why This Matters for Lone Star Drone Clients
These new Teledyne FLIR camera modules align perfectly with Lone Star Drone’s commitment to delivering state-of-the-art aerial imaging solutions. By integrating Boson and Hadron technology into drone platforms in the future, we can provide our clients with more detailed, accurate, and actionable data than ever before. Whether you need advanced thermal imaging for inspections, security, or emergency response, these innovations will enhance operational efficiency and situational awareness.
