Application Note: Advanced IR Optical Assemblies for UAVs and Drones Meeting SWaP constraints

Download Whitepaper
The UAV industry has significantly evolved and grown in recent years. Alongside this growth, we have seen the development of UAVs and drones with increasingly advanced infrared imaging systems, containing detectors that are larger in size and smaller in pixel size, which present challenges for UAV optics. Lens quality must increase in order to maximize imaging performance in line with detector capabilities, allowing for high resolution vision. Three crucial factors should always be considered to ensure the optical assembly is suitable for UAVs and drones, these are known as SWaP – Size, Weight, and Power consumption.
