Abstract

MicroIR uncooled infrared imaging modules (based on VO_x microbolometers), developed and manufactured at BAE SYSTEMS, are integrated into ruggedized, weatherproof camera systems and are currently supporting numerous security and surveillance applications. The introduction of uncooled thermal imaging has permitted the expansion of traditional surveillance and security perimeters. MicroIR cameras go beyond the imagery limits of visible and low-light short wavelength infrared sensors, providing continual, uninterrupted, high quality imagery both day and night. Coupled with an appropriate lens assembly, MicroIR cameras offer exemplary imagery performance that lends itself to a more comprehensive level of surveillance. With the current increased emphasis on security and surveillance, MicroIR Cameras are evolving as an unquestionably beneficial instrument in the security and surveillance arenas. This paper will elaborate on the attributes of the cameras, and discuss the development and the deployment, both present and future, of BAE SYSTEMS MicroIR Cameras.
