Tactics to enable SWaP-C improvements in military thermal imaging - Story

March 18, 2025

Companies that build vision and guidance systems for night vision, uncrewed systems, and robotics applications are very familiar with the potential for long wave infrared (LWIR) thermal imaging to revolutionize defense and warfare. To support broad deployment of these cameras, improvements in performance and cost are needed. By applying the SWaP-C [size, weight, power, and cost] goals originally laid out for defense equipment, a camera meeting the stringent performance and cost requirements in new automotive safety systems has been developed. These new cameras can now be supplied into defense applications, bringing back the full set of benefits.
