Abstract

Reduced SWaP-C is one of the hottest trends in thermal imaging requirements. It allows thermal imaging systems to be used for a range of new applications, including UAVs and drones in the commercial, homeland security, and defense industries, most notably for long range observation. Meeting reduced SWAP-C requirements involves the design and manufacture of high performance, miniaturized, and affordable thermal imaging components that also allow for long operational ranges. This can be achieved through the use of continuous zoom lenses with innovative optical and mechanical designs, manufactured with the latest cutting-edge technologies. Recently, Ophir launched a range of new zoom lenses that meets the challenging requirements of low SWaP-C and long operational ranges, ideal for integration with UAVs and drones.
