  • FLIR TradeForce Graduate Shares How the Program Impacted His Life and Career as a Civilian

    United States Navy Veteran, Dakota Babb, recently shared how the FLIR TradeForce thermal training program impacted his life and profession since being discharged from the military. FLIR TradeForce assists recently separated (within the past five years) U.S. Veterans who want to start or expand a career in the skilled trades with free Level I Infrared Thermography Training provided by the FLIR U.S. Infrared Training Center (ITC).

  • Top Perimeter Security Trends for Critical Infrastructure

    Airports, power plants, and data centers house mission-critical assets essential to everyday life. Without adequate physical security, these operations are at risk of intrusion and sabotage. The shutdown of any one of these critical infrastructure facilities would affect hundreds of thousands of people. Securing these entities from a physical breach starts by protecting the perimeter. While critical infrastructure sites pose their challenges for perimeter intrusion detection systems, new technologies, and solution integrations are addressing these pain points and enabling better detection, deterrence, and real-time response, in the case of a threat. Here are six trending technologies amplifying perimeter security for critical infrastructure.

  • Maximizing Substation Resiliency Through Predictive Maintenance

    Security leaders across the country are discussing groundbreaking technologies that can better protect the nation’s critical assets. One of the innovative technology developments in the security space is the use of FLIR radiometric thermal cameras with temperature analysis software from Embedded Logix for condition monitoring to prevent asset failure at critical infrastructure sites.

  • FLIR wins 2020 ACES Award from Autonomous Vehicle Technology

    Autonomous Vehicle Technology (AVT) annually recognizes the most innovative technologies, products, and services of the year in the following areas: vehicle autonomy, connectivity, electrification, and mobility services (ACES). This year, AVT awarded FLIR for advancing ADAS and AV safety with the Thermal Imaging Regional Dataset program for machine-learning development.

  • Pro Angler Profile: Captain Alonzo Sotillo

    Everglades fishing guides Sotillo and Thompson up their angling game during precious days off with the power of Axiom Pro. Sotillo operates Tides Right Charters, and regularly opts to forego distractions like football, neighborhood parties and home improvement projects to keep his eye on the prize. “I’ve been a professional guide for four years now,” says the young Raymarine Pro Ambassador. “Days like today are the days I look forward to the most,” he continues, referring to the chance to observe, study and learn from the Everglades and its fish while trading paying customers for the company of a good friend and mentor like Captain Andy Thompson.

  • Pro Angler Profile: Moe Newman

    Captain Relies on Raymarine/FLIR for Getting There, Staying Safe, and Catching Fish Captain Moe Newman grew up fishing the Gulf Coast. From the shores of Pass Christian, Mississippi, to Port Fourchon, Louisiana, she has experienced it all, beginning her guiding career while still in her teens. “I was born and raised fishing out of Mississippi and fishing along the Gulf Coast with my mom and dad, and at about the age of 14 my dad took me under his wing. If I wanted to go fishing, I better be a part of every aspect of it,” says Newman.

  • FirstLook Takes a Shotgun Blast, And Still Gets the Job Done

    We have several different robots. We use the FirstLook quite a bit and find it very useful. We probably use it four out of five times to go into a structure and get images before we start probing around. The FirstLook allows us to identify threats before exposing an officer, deputy or canine team to a dangerous situation. It’s a visual aid.

  • How To Detect A Water Leak with Thermal Imaging

    Water leaks and moisture infiltration can cause serious damage to a house or building, and can be difficult to detect until it’s already too late. Using a thermal imaging camera and under the right circumstances, it’s possible to find hidden water and moisture issues without resorting to destructive testing. There are many sources of building moisture, including humidity (during any season), condensation, pipe leaks, rain and snow, and even people and animals breathing. Usually a low level of moisture is fine, but leaks or heavy condensation can cause serious problems. A thermal imaging camera cannot “see” moisture in walls, but it can detect subtle temperature differences and patterns that reveal the existence of water.

  • Can Thermal Imaging See Through Walls? And Other Common Questions

    Popular media has been responsible for a wealth of misinformation throughout the years about thermal—or infrared—imaging. What exactly can thermal cameras “see” through? To answer that, here’s a rundown of the most commonly asked questions we receive about what you can and can’t see through using a thermal camera.

  • What Is EO?/IR?

    EO/IR (Electro-Optical/Infra-Red) systems are imaging systems used for military or law enforcement applications which include both visible and infrared sensors. Because they span both visible and infrared wavelengths, EO/IR systems provide total situational awareness both day and night and in low light conditions.

  • Teledyne FLIR Helps to Keep Airspace Surrounding Swedish Critical Infrastructure Free of Drones

    Teledyne FLIR successfully completed an installation of a long-range drone detection system for a critical infrastructure site in Sweden. A smart slew-to-cue system, combining radar, thermal imaging and visual sensors, makes sure no unmanned aircraft system goes undetected.

  • Teledyne FLIR Gives Çanakkale Bridge Travelers a Safer Crossing

    Teledyne FLIR recently installed its dual thermal AID camera technology for use on the new 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey. Teledyne FLIR technology will allow traffic users to cross the Çanakkale Strait in a fast and safe way. 1915 Çanakkale Bridge is expected to be a huge contribution to the region and country’s economy. The new suspension bridge that runs from Çanakkale to Malkara will decrease the time it takes to cross the Çanakkale Strait to six minutes.
