Teledyne Technologies Incorporated - Experts & Thought Leaders

Teledyne Flir to demonstrate integrated thermal imaging, AI-enabled detection and intelligent security technologies at Security Exhibition & Conference 2026. As security threats become increasingly complex, organizations responsible for protecting critical infrastructure, commercial facilities and high-value assets are moving beyond standalone security technologies in favour of integrated, multi-layered security strategies that provide earlier detection, greater situational awareness and faster response. Complementary sensing technologies At this year’s Security Exhibition & Conference, Teledyne Flir will demonstrate how combining thermal imaging, visible imaging, radar, AI-enabled analytics and intelligent software can help security professionals build a more complete understanding of their operating environment while improving the speed and confidence of security decision-making. Visitors to Booth A50 will experience Teledyne Flir’s vision for Multi-Layered Security Solutions, bringing together complementary sensing technologies into a unified, real-time operational view that enables operators to monitor large and complex sites more effectively. Rather than relying on a single device or technology, this integrated approach helps security teams detect, verify and assess potential threats with greater accuracy while maintaining continuous awareness across the entire perimeter. Maintaining continuous awareness One area receiving growing attention across many industries is the ability to identify fire risks before they escalate into critical incidents. At the exhibition, Teledyne Flir will showcase how its Early Fire Detection technologies use thermal imaging to identify abnormal heat conditions before visible flames develop, providing operators with valuable time to investigate potential hazards, protect personnel and minimize disruption to operations. The approach is designed to help organizations preserve valuable assets while supporting safer, more resilient facilities. As security environments continue to generate increasing volumes of data, effective decision-making depends on bringing information together rather than managing individual sensors independently. Teledyne Flir will demonstrate Flir Nexus®, an intelligent software platform designed to connect thermal cameras, visible cameras and radar technologies into a single operational interface. By correlating information from multiple sensors, Nexus enhances situational awareness and supports more efficient threat detection and tracking across the protected site. Continuous perimeter monitoring Planning an effective security system is equally important as the technologies deployed within it. Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the Flir Raven™ Site Planning Tool, which enables consultants, system integrators and end users to visualise sensor placement and optimize coverage before installation begins. By helping security professionals design more effective deployments from the outset, Raven supports greater confidence throughout the planning process. The growing expansion of digital infrastructure has also placed new demands on physical security. With data centres becoming increasingly critical to business continuity, organizations require technologies capable of delivering continuous perimeter monitoring, intelligent threat detection and early identification of thermal anomalies that could impact operations. In data centres, downtime is not inconvenient—it is unacceptable, with every second carrying operational costs, financial penalties and business disruption. Multi-layered sensing technologies AI-driven analytics help ensure every alert is credible by identifying real threats while filtering nuisance alarms, enabling operators to respond more quickly with a clear, continuous view of critical assets. By maintaining accurate detection in all conditions and reducing false positives, organizations can minimize unnecessary inspections, lower operational costs and improve overall resilience. At Booth A50, visitors will discover how Teledyne Flir's integrated security approach supports these evolving requirements through a combination of multi-layered sensing technologies designed to help improve resilience and operational uptime. Improving situational awareness Throughout the exhibition, Teledyne Flir experts will demonstrate a range of intelligent thermal imaging, AI-enabled cameras, radar technologies and integrated security solutions that illustrate how multiple sensing technologies can work together to deliver comprehensive perimeter protection, earlier threat detection and enhanced operational awareness across critical infrastructure, industrial facilities and commercial environments. “Security challenges continue to evolve, and organizations need technologies that provide more than individual points of detection,” said Avi Gerbi, Senior Director Security & ITS APAC Sales at Teledyne Flir. “By integrating complementary sensing technologies into a unified operational view, security teams can improve situational awareness, respond with greater confidence and better protect the people, infrastructure and assets that matter most.” Wide range of applications Security professionals attending the Security Exhibition & Conference are invited to visit Teledyne Flir at Booth A50 to meet the team, experience live demonstrations and discuss how a multi-layered approach can help strengthen security strategies across a wide range of applications.

Teledyne FLIR OEM, a business unit of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, announced the release of the ITAR-free Boson® SX8, the first NDAA-compliant, volume production, uncooled longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera module to combine an 8-micron pixel pitch with SXGA (1280 × 1024) resolution. The state-of-the-art 8-micron pixel enables industry-best thermal performance and four times the resolution of today’s high-volume, uncooled VGA (640 × 512) thermal camera modules, all within a similarly sized compact package. Designed for high-performance and optimized for size, weight, and power (SWaP) constrained defense and industrial applications, the Boson SX8 family enables integrators and operators to see more, see farther, and deploy high-performance thermal imaging at production scale. Supply-chain confidence Critical for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), counter-UAS, perimeter security, handheld devices, seekers, visual augmentation, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, the Boson SX8 family delivers performance previously available only in heavier, larger, and more power-hungry cooled, midwave infrared (MWIR) thermal imaging systems. “By reducing pixel area by 55% compared to the standard 12-micron LWIR pixel format, Boson SX8 represents a transformational moment for thermal imaging,” said Paul Clayton, President, Teledyne FLIR OEM. “By pairing this advanced 8-micron pixel architecture with SXGA thermal resolution at full-rate production, we’re giving customers greater situational awareness and longer effective range without compromising SWaP or supply-chain confidence.” Thermal gradient compensation In addition to multiple fixed-lens options, the new Boson SX8-CZ 15–75 features a factory-integrated 5x continuous-zoom (CZ) lens to further extend range performance. This option pairs the camera module with a 15–75 mm continuous-zoom lens, engineered and calibrated as a single system. The integration provides optimized optical performance with focus-through-zoom, thermal gradient compensation, factory alignment, and a single-source warranty, reducing integration risk while accelerating time to market. Intelligent embedded software products The Boson SX8 and Boson SX8-CZ 15–75 are manufactured at high volume in the United States by the world’s pioneer supplier of OEM thermal camera modules. Designed for production deployment, the Boson SX8 family offers OEMs a low-risk path from development through full-rate manufacturing, including integration with Teledyne FLIR OEM’s Prism™ intelligent embedded software products. Teledyne FLIR OEM will demonstrate the Boson SX8 product family at Eurosatory 2026 at the Teledyne FLIR booth in Paris, where attendees can experience the latest advances in high-definition, SWaP-optimized thermal imaging.
