Product Description
Teledyne FLIR Hadron Camera
DESCRIPTION
The FLIR® Hadron™ is a SWaP+C optimized (Size, Weight, Power, + Cost) dual-sensor module that combines a 12MP RGB camera with a Boson 320 thermal imager in a lightweight, compact, and power-efficient form factor. Purpose-built for seamless integration into small airframes and unmanned platforms, Hadron provides developers and OEMs with a plug-and-play thermal and visible light imaging solution that’s ready out of the box.
Encased in an IP53-rated enclosure, and designed for high performance even in challenging conditions, the Hadron enables aerial platforms to view thermal and HD color imagery simultaneously—making it ideal for applications such as industrial inspection, search and rescue, infrastructure assessment, and security surveillance, especially in low-light or night environments.
Key Features
-
Dual Imaging (RGB + Thermal): View thermal and HD visible imagery in real-time for enhanced situational awareness and inspection.
-
Compact, Lightweight Design: Weighing just 42.8g, the Hadron is ideal for small UAVs and robotic systems, ensuring minimal impact on flight time or payload capacity.
-
High-Performance Thermal Core: Powered by the FLIR Boson 320 thermal sensor with a 34° HFOV, capturing thermal video up to 60Hz. 12MP
-
RGB Sensor: Integrated Sony IMX412 RGB camera delivers crisp 4K color imagery at high frame rates.
-
Integrated IMU: The onboard ICM20602 IMU enables stabilized imaging and data synchronization for advanced positioning applications.
-
Low Power Consumption: Operates efficiently with a typical power draw under 1.3W, helping maximize airframe endurance.
-
Ready for Rapid Integration: Reduces engineering overhead with a fully integrated solution — just mount, connect, and deploy.
-
Environmental Protection: IP53-rated enclosure protects against dust and light water spray for outdoor and industrial use.
