Teledyne FLIR OEM, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and noted for advancing thermal imaging technology, has launched a collaboration with Gremsy, a known entity in the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) payload and gimbal solutions.
This partnership heralds the introduction of Gremsy's NDAA-compliant ORUS-L and Lynx payload lines, which aim to enhance drone capabilities with advanced aerial thermal intelligence.
NDAA-compliant thermal solutions
Jared Faraudo, vice president of product management at Teledyne FLIR OEM, emphasised the strategic nature of this collaboration, noting, "Thermal by FLIR helps position Gremsy at the forefront of drone payloads with reliable NDAA-compliant thermal camera module availability."
The integration of Teledyne's SWaP-optimised long-wave infrared (LWIR) Boson+ camera module into Gremsy's payload designs supports professional applications requiring 24/7 situational awareness.
Innovative thermal imaging technology
Teledyne FLIR OEM's Boson+ thermal imaging camera module, free of ITA Regulations
Teledyne FLIR OEM's Boson+ thermal imaging camera module, free of International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and compliant with the National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA), is newly installed in Gremsy's innovative Lynx and ORUS-L products.
Huy Pham, CTO of Gremsy, highlighted the impact, stating, "Boosting innovation in uncrewed intelligence, our Lynx and Orus L payloads represent monumental achievements for our team while pushing new frontiers for our expanding spherical ecosystem."
Lynx NDAA: Ultra-compact ISR payload
The Lynx NDAA model is engineered for optimal aerial efficiency, addressing size, weight, and power (SWaP) challenges for UAVs.
Its dual thermal and visible imaging capabilities offer an edge in urgent public safety, drone-as-first-responder (DFR), and defence operations.
Orus-L NDAA: Spherical payload with AI
At the forefront of Gremsy's spherical payload concept is the IP55-rated ORUS-L NDAA model
At the forefront of Gremsy's spherical payload concept is the IP55-rated ORUS-L NDAA model. Supporting speeds up to 100 km/h on various platform types, this model employs the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX for complex real-time AI tasks like object detection and target tracking.
This comprehensive solution includes an electro-optical (EO) camera, the radiometric Boson+ thermal camera module, and a laser range finder (LRF), suited for critical inspection and public safety tasks.
Teledyne FLIR's role in market advancement
The Thermal by FLIR initiative is designed to aid original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and product developers in integrating Teledyne FLIR thermal camera modules into their solutions, facilitating quicker market entry and reduced development expenses.
As the leading volume producer of ITAR-free infrared sensors and modules, Teledyne FLIR OEM plays a pivotal role in accelerating innovation and growth within the sector.
Teledyne FLIR OEM, a Teledyne Technologies Incorporated company and the pioneer in enabling thermal imaging innovation, announced its latest Thermal by FLIR collaboration with Gremsy, a pioneer in professional unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) payload and gimbal solutions.
Through the collaboration, Gremsy is introduced its NDAA-compliant ORUS-L and Lynx payload lines, equipping drones with best-in-class aerial thermal intelligence.
NDAA-compliant thermal camera module
“Thermal by FLIR helps position Gremsy at the forefront of drone payloads with reliable NDAA-compliant thermal camera module availability,” said Jared Faraudo, vice president, product management, Teledyne FLIR OEM.
“By integrating the size-weight-and-power (SWaP)-optimised long-wave infrared (LWIR) Boson+ camera module within the Gremsy spherical payload designs, the collaboration empowers demanding professional applications that require situational awareness day or night.”
Teledyne FLIR OEM's thermal imaging technology
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)-free and National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA)-compliant Boson+ thermal imaging camera module has recently been integrated into two new groundbreaking Gremsy products: Lynx, an ultra-compact ISR payload, and ORUS-L, a pioneering, sphere-shaped payload. These represent the introduction of an innovative product series.
"Boosting innovation in uncrewed intelligence, our Lynx and Orus L payloads represent monumental achievements for our team while pushing new frontiers for our expanding spherical ecosystem," said Huy Pham, CTO of Gremsy.
“The sphere form factor enables exceptional protection, aerodynamic efficiency, and a flexible platform for a wide range of critical applications. Our new payloads, enhanced by Teledyne FLIR OEM's thermal imaging technology, help users better achieve their mission objectives with unprecedented insight."
LYNX NDAA: Ultra-compact ISR payload
The ultra-lightweight and compact Lynx NDAA model is engineered for ultimate aerial efficiency, drastically reducing SWaP challenges on UAV platforms and translating directly into significantly longer operational times and enhanced platform versatility.
Its dual thermal and visible imaging capabilities provide a critical advantage for time-sensitive public safety, drone-as-first-responder (DFR), and defense missions.
Orus-L NDAA: Pioneering spherical payload with AI integration
As the vanguard of Gremsy's spherical payload vision, the IP55-rated ORUS-L NDAA model supports flight speeds up to 100 km/h across vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) and fixed-wing platforms. Powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX, ORUS-L performs complex AI tasks including object detection, target lock, and autonomous tracking in real-time.
Leveraging its built-in high-performance processor and Gremsy’s advanced image processing algorithm, this high-performance gimbaled solution includes an electro-optical (EO) camera, the radiometric Boson+ thermal camera module, and a laser range finder (LRF) ideal for critical inspection and public safety applications.
