NDAA compliant and ITAR free, the Boson® family represents the most dynamic, highest-performing uncooled thermal imaging technology in the Teledyne FLIR OEM portfolio. The small, lightweight, and low-power OEM camera module features multiple configurations and onboard image processing for qualitative and quantitative thermal imaging applications.
NDAA compliant and ITAR free, the Boson+ sets the standard for LWIR OEM thermal camera performance and size, weight, and power (SWaP). It features an industry-leading thermal sensitivity of less than or equal to (≤)20 mK. The upgraded automatic gain control (AGC) filter and new DDE+ deliver dramatically enhanced scene contrast and sharpness. Lower video latency enhances tracking, seeker performance, and decision support.

The Boson+ CZ 14-75 combines Teledyne FLIR’s Boson+ world-class LWIR OEM camera module and 5x continuous zoom (CZ) lens offering a high–performance imaging solution. It features an industry-leading thermal sensitivity of ≤20 mK and an upgraded AGC filter delivering dramatically enhanced scene contrast and sharpness. The high-performance lens and control electronics maintain focus through zoom and provide real-time thermal gradient compensation as well as flexibility for user-defined command syntax and expansion for additional features.

The Boson thermal camera module sets the standard for size, weight, and power (SWaP). Utilizing Teledyne FLIR's advanced image processing and several industry-standard communication interfaces, Boson enables applications from firefighting to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), security, and automotive development kits, all for as little as 600 mW. The 12 µm uncooled detector comes in two resolutions – 640 × 512 or 320 × 256 – and multiple frame rate options. Radiometric models offer absolute temperature measurement. With multiple lens configurations also available, Boson offers the widest range of LWIR models from Teledyne FLIR and the most flexibility to integration programs.

Integrating Teledyne FLIR thermal camera modules is now easier with our library of how-to-videos, application notes, and our comprehensive support center with product drawings, datasheets, and more!
The Boson GUI provides the ability to quickly access radiometry settings critical to high-speed integration cycles, balancing schedule, cost, and performance. Optimizing radiometric parameters and using spot meters, regions of interest (ROI) with statistics, and a temperature bar allow for optimization during testing and tuning.
A thermal camera’s sensitivity will have a direct impact on the image clarity and sharpness that the camera can produce. Devices with better thermal sensitivity are ideal for a wide variety of uses from search and rescue to industrial inspection to security.
Thermal by FLIR is a cooperative product development and marketing program that supports original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and product innovators who use FLIR thermal imaging sensors in their products. The program ensures that those OEMs that use genuine FLIR sensors can carry the Thermal by FLIR brand and receive additional product development and marketing support to build and market their products.
