Boson SX8

Boson® SX8 is the world’s first high-volume production, ITAR-free and NDAA-compliant uncooled longwave infrared (LWIR) camera module to deliver SXGA (1280 × 1024) resolution with an 8-micron (µm) pixel-pitch microbolometer. Engineered to minimize size, weight, and power (SWaP), Boson SX8 improves situational awareness in a compact, integration-ready form factor.

Purpose-built for industrial, commercial, and defense integrations, Boson SX8 delivers 4× more pixels than a 640 × 512 VGA module, extending detection, recognition, and identification (DRI) range and providing clear imagery at long distances. Multiple lens options, including a factory-integrated continuous zoom lens, support a wide range of platforms, from uncrewed systems and counter-UAS to seekers, perimeter security, visual augmentation, and handheld devices. With high-speed performance and SXGA output, Boson SX8 helps operators see more, see farther, and do more.

Boson SX8 helps accelerate development and reduce integration risk with an available graphical user interface (GUI), germanium-free lens configurations, and compatibility with Teledyne FLIR OEM’s Prism™ intelligent digital products. Manufactured at scale in the USA, it offers lower supply-chain risk, high reliability, and world-class support from a trusted volume supplier—setting a new standard for SWaP-optimized thermal imaging.
