ARLINGTON - Leonardo DRS, Inc. (Nasdaq: DRS) announced today the launch of Tenum 640 Orbit, an advanced uncooled long-wave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera module optimized for unmanned air, ground, and maritime platforms.
The company will debut Tenum 640 Orbit at SOF Week in Tampa, FL (May 18-21).
'Unmanned systems are fielding at scale. Integrators and operators need thermal cameras that are both mission-capable and integration-friendly,' said Greg Christison, vice president, Sensors & Aviation, at Leonardo DRS. 'Tenum 640 Orbit is a size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-c) optimized OEM camera module to help accelerate integration timelines and enable broader deployment across small, unmanned platforms without compromising performance.'
Configured for high-volume integration for Group 1-3 UAV, Tenum 640 Orbit is an ideal cost-optimized payload for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), and unmanned surface vessel (USV) applications. The module is built around an uncooled VOx microbolometer and delivers 640 x 512 resolution with 10 -microm pixel pitch in the 8-14 -microm spectral band.
Tenum 640 Orbit provides persistent high frame-rate thermal imagery for detection, tracking, navigation, and collision/obstacle avoidance in day/night and degraded-visibility environments, extending endurance for small unmanned systems in an ultra-compact footprint. The camera core supports 60 frames per second (fps) and delivers
