Teledyne Technologies Incorporated - Experts & Thought Leaders

Flir, a Teledyne Technologies brand, announced built-in GPS for its Si2-Series acoustic imaging cameras. The upgrade adds precise location data to predictive maintenance inspections, helping service providers and reliability teams streamline workflows across multi-site operations, long-distance inspections, and utilities and power-transmission applications. Si2-Series cameras With integrated GPS, every acoustic image captured by the Si2-Series cameras now includes geospatial metadata that seamlessly connects with Flir Acoustic Viewer and Flir Thermal Studio software. This enables inspection teams to organise, visualise, and document findings by exact location, enhancing traceability and compliance across assets and sites. Key benefits of built-in GPS Automatic Geotagging: Embeds location data into acoustic image files for accurate mapping, analysis, and reporting. Streamlined Multi-Site Inspections: Ideal for geographically distributed assets such as power lines, substations, and large industrial facilities. Enhanced Data Integration: GPS coordinates flow directly into Flir Acoustic Viewer and Flir Thermal Studio, improving asset management and inspection traceability. Proven Performance: The Si2-Series retains its industry-leading acoustic performance and intuitive design, with no change to camera handling. Flir Si2-Series models “This enhancement improves inspection teams’ ability to document and manage their findings,” said Darrell Taylor, Global Acoustic Business Development Manager at Flir.  “From power lines to complex industrial facilities, geotagged acoustic data makes it easier track maintenance trends, plan repairs, and demonstrate program ROI.” The GPS enhancement applies to all Flir Si2-Series models and is not available as a firmware upgrade for existing cameras.

Teledyne FLIR OEM, a Teledyne Technologies Incorporated company and the global pioneer in enabling thermal imaging innovation, announced its latest Thermal by FLIR collaboration with SYPAQ Systems, one of Australia's pioneering sovereign drone manufacturers.  The new CorvoX small unmanned aerial system (SUAS), featuring the NDAA-compliant and ITAR-free Boson® thermal infrared (IR) camera, is under contract to be delivered to the Australian Army in December 2025 under the Australian Defence Force DEF129 SUAS program for dismounted soldier operations. Delivery of advanced technologies “The Thermal by FLIR program represents a natural evolution of our commitment to delivering world-class sovereign defense capabilities globally," said Amanda Holt, CEO and Managing Director of SYPAQ Systems. "The Boson integration into our CorvoX platform exemplifies how strategic collaborations between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States (AUKUS) nations can accelerate the development and delivery of advanced technologies into the hands of the warfighters.” Modern reconnaissance and surveillance missions Developed specifically for dismounted soldier operations, CorvoX is configured with the Corvo Guarda 70-DN EO/IR payload, featuring a 640 x 512 resolution Boson, delivering world-pioneering thermal imaging performance, seeing through darkness, smoke, and most fog. The Boson is paired with an electro-optical (EO) sensor and resides within a two-axis mechanical system with advanced stabilisation algorithms for geo-lock, object detection, and moving target tracking, essential for modern reconnaissance and surveillance missions. Thermal infrared technology “The CorvoX showcases the versatility and performance of our size, weight, and power (SWaP) optimised Boson thermal sensor in demanding uncrewed applications,” said Jared Faraudo, Vice President, Product Management, Teledyne FLIR OEM. “SYPAQ’s commitment to sovereign manufacturing and secure, high-volume supply chains aligns with our mission to enable innovative, market-pioneering thermal infrared technology worldwide.” Next-generation CorvoX SUAS The CorvoX features an innovative thrust-vectored vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) configuration that delivers class-pioneering endurance in extreme weather and up to 35 miles per hour (mph) (55 kilometres per hour (km/h)) of wind. Capable of speeds up to 62 mph (100 km/h), the lightweight, man-portable system weighs less than 4.4 pounds (2 kilograms), has a 32.3-inch (82-centimeter) wingspan, and can fly for up to 50 minutes.  Designed for hand-thrown or ground VTOL takeoff, the CorvoX reduces the physical and cognitive load on operators. The system includes a novel memory structure that prevents sensitive intelligence from leaking during the mission, and the onboard artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities are updated constantly. See the CorvoX at Indo Pacific 2025 SYPAQ will showcase the CorvoX and Corvo Guarda 70-DN payload at Indo Pacific 2025 in Sydney, Australia, November 4-6, 2025. Visit SYPAQ at the Victorian Government Pavilion No. 3F92 to experience this next-generation capability firsthand.
