<p><em><strong>Teal 2</strong></em></p>
<p>&ldquo;Teledyne FLIR brings decades of thermal camera development experience to the sUAS market, with a strict focus on reducing the size, weight, and power&nbsp;while&nbsp;expanding&nbsp;the&nbsp;technical&nbsp;capabilities today&rsquo;s&nbsp;emergency&nbsp;personnel, law enforcement, and&nbsp;warfighters&nbsp;require,&rdquo;&nbsp;said <span style="color: #ba372a;"><strong>Mike Walters</strong></span>, vice president, product management, Teledyne FLIR. &ldquo;The integration of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Teledyne FLIR thermal camera modules into&nbsp;the&nbsp;cutting-edge LEMUR&nbsp;2 and the Teal 2&nbsp;demonstrates our continued commitment to innovation and streamlined platform integration.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<h5><span style="color: #ba372a;"><strong>Plug-and-Play Dual Thermal-Visible Imaging Integration&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</span></h5>
<p>Made in the USA, Hadron 640R pairs a performance-leading 640x512 resolution radiometric Boson thermal camera with a 64MP visible camera in a single easy-to-integrate module. With a size, weight, and power (SWaP) optimized design, it is an ideal dual-sensor payload for integration into&nbsp;sUAS, unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), robotic platforms, and AI-ready applications where battery life and run-time are mission-critical. &nbsp;</p>

<p><em><strong>Hadron 640R</strong></em></p>
<p>&ldquo;Teledyne FLIR maintains an impressive track record of innovation&nbsp;by developing industry-leading thermal imaging sensors&nbsp;and supporting integrators through the development and launch cycle,&rdquo;&nbsp;said <span style="color: #ba372a;"><strong>George&nbsp;Matus</strong></span>,&nbsp;founder and&nbsp;CEO of Teal. &ldquo;The Hadron 640R&nbsp;provides&nbsp;the&nbsp;military-grade Teal 2&nbsp;with the situational awareness&nbsp;front-line personnel&nbsp;require&nbsp;to dominate the night in support of defense&nbsp;and&nbsp;public safety&nbsp;operations in a variety of environments.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<h5><span style="color: #ba372a;"><strong>Thermal Imaging for Indoor sUAS&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</span></h5>
<p>One of seven advanced sensors integrated into the LEMUR&nbsp;2, the Lepton micro thermal camera is small enough to rest on the tip of a finger, providing 160x120 thermal resolution for capturing accurate, calibrated, and noncontact temperature data&nbsp;within&nbsp;a lightweight&nbsp;and low-power package. It helps provide law enforcement and emergency services with greater situational awareness in total darkness&nbsp;or&nbsp;smoke&nbsp;without placing personnel in&nbsp;danger.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="color: #34495e;"><strong><em>Lepton 3.5&nbsp;thermal micro camera.</em></strong></span></p>
<p>&ldquo;Each&nbsp;BRINC&nbsp;LEMUR&nbsp;2&nbsp;deployed&nbsp;in an emergency&nbsp;situation is one less individual in harm's way, and a potential life saved, thanks in part to the Lepton micro thermal camera embedded within the airframe,&rdquo; said&nbsp;<span style="color: #ba372a;"><strong>Blake Resnick</strong></span>, founder and CEO of BRINC&nbsp;Drones.&nbsp;&ldquo;In combination with other sensing modalities and the BRINC&nbsp;Autonomy Engine, the Lepton provides critical, real-time&nbsp;data for law enforcement and emergency response personnel to improve safety and outcomes.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
