The new FLIR Boson™ SWIR is a SWaP+C Optimized Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) camera core. Designed as an integrated system from the focal plane array (FPA) up, the Boson SWIR uses FLIR InGaAs FPA technology and uncooled (TEC-less) temperature compensation to optimize SWaP+C and ease of integration into an OEM system. It produces superb imagery using a 640 × 512 format 15µm pixel pitch FPA in the SWIR and Vis-SWIR spectrum.
