Lynred to show ‘HOT’ IR sensor for tactical vision
Lynred, a provider of infrared sensors for aerospace, defence and commercial markets, will show Seegnus, its first very compact high-resolution (1280 x 1024 SXGA format), small pixel pitch (7.5µm) midwave (MWIR) ‘HOT’ (High Operating Temperature) infrared sensor, at Eurosatory, Paris, June 17 - 21.
According to the company, Seegnus’ multiple features offer key performance advantages to manufacturers of long-range/large Field-of-View (FoV) miniature infrared systems, including a net 20 percent increase in Detection/Reconnaissance/Identification (DRI) range performance over Lynred’s earlier VGA model within this category of midwave products.
Typical applications include Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) gimbals, tactical goggles, armoured vehicle sights, Remote Control Weapon Sights (RCWS) and submarine optronic masts.
At Eurosatory, Lynred will run a live demo of Seegnus in a standard camera, as well as display a mechanical mock-up of Seegnus, plus optics, within a compact 6.3 inch gimbal.
“Seegnus incorporates all of the top infrared imaging performance criteria in demand from camera makers today: a compact large array format with 150K ‘HOT’ design, coupled with low weight and low power consumption advantages,” said Alain Manissadjian, product manager at Lynred.
“Seegnus extends Lynred’s SWaP (small Size, low Weight, low Power consumption) portfolio in the MWIR range and shows its robust capability in mastering III-V semiconductor technology. We are excited about exhibiting Seegnus at Eurosatory this week, where we anticipate customers will be very impressed by the added value this best-in-class IR sensor brings to long-range tactical applications.”
