Lockheed Martin to equip two Apache battalions with low-light sensors, while FLIR will provide the US Army with 36 SAFIRE night vision systems. While the Pentagon looks to make cuts to US military ...

Since its founding, LASER COMPONENTS has specialised in IR sensors for use in fire detection devices. We manufacture both lead sulphide and pyroelectric detectors at our assembly plant in Tempe. A ...

As the U.S. Army produces third-generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensors, officials are exploring emerging capabilities that might be integrated into fourth-generation systems. FLIR ...

It is critically important for instrument users to understand what the sensors in their instrument cannot properly measure, as well as what they can. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a next generation smart sensor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that is capable of identifying infrared (IR) wavelengths ...

It’s called IRST21 and it takes two years to produce a unit from Lockheed Martin in Orlando and Ocala. This highly advanced infrared sensor identifies the heat signature from friction as air passes ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...
