SCD has announced a significant follow-on order from a prominent homeland security integrator for its innovative HD MWIR (High-Definition Mid-Wave Infrared) detectors.
These detectors are notable for their extended operational lifetime, addressing the pressing need for long-term dependability and minimal upkeep in remote security locations.
Extended operational lifetime with advanced HOT technology
This advancement significantly reduces the frequency of required maintenance, offering enhanced reliability
The new detectors, driven by SCD’s advanced High Operating Temperature (HOT) technology and robust cooling systems, boast a remarkable 2.5-fold increase in operational lifespan compared to standard models.
This advancement significantly reduces the frequency of required maintenance, offering enhanced reliability for continuous and mission-critical surveillance scenarios.
According to Shai Fishbein, VP of Business Development & Marketing at SCD, "The demand for high-reliability, 24/7 border, naval and infrastructure security is growing rapidly. Our customer is enabling the operation of complex security and long-range reconnaissance networks across remote and hard-to-reach sites or platforms, where maintenance is both challenging and costly.”
Innovative BlackBird 1280 detectors
The BlackBird 1280, a newly developed long-life detector, is engineered for smooth integration into both new and existing systems. It provides high-definition infrared imaging, long-range detection, and dependable performance across a wide range of operational environments, including naval platforms.
This next-generation sensor, enhanced by mature HOT MWIR technology and reliable cooling, allows system integrators to deliver superior situational awareness and around-the-clock surveillance capabilities.
Fishbein added, "The new HD MWIR generation sets a new standard by combining outstanding image quality with unmatched operational longevity. This enables our customers to minimise disruption, extend system uptime, and redefine what’s possible in continuous homeland security and defence operations."
SCD, a global pioeer in defence technology specialising in the development and manufacture of a wide range of cooled and uncooled infrared detectors, announces a follow-on order from a major homeland security integrator for its next-generation HD MWIR (High-Definition Mid-Wave Infrared) detectors featuring extended operational lifetime.
Powered by SCD's advanced HOT (High Operating Temperature) technology coupled with robust advanced cooling technology, the new detectors deliver a breakthrough 2.5-fold increase in operational lifetime, thus enabling more than double the interval between required maintenance sessions compared to standard models.
This directly addresses the critical need for long-term reliability and minimal maintenance in remote, hard-to-access security sites.
