Reliable situational awareness is essential for today’s uncrewed maritime missions. Advanced imaging helps USVs navigate safely, detect hazards, and make informed decisions in any environment.
Teledyne FLIR's advanced maritime imaging solutions provide thermal and visible-spectrum awareness to help USVs detect, identify, track, and respond to objects and events day or night. Designed for seamless integration with autonomy and mission management systems, they deliver the high-quality imagery and actionable data needed to improve operational effectiveness and support a wide range of commercial, scientific, and government applications.
With no crew on board to keep watch, a USV depends on its camera to see what's ahead. Thermal imaging detects other vessels, buoys, debris and shoreline in complete darkness or through the sun's glare, while our onboard Marine Video Analytics (MVA) and frame-accurate metadata give the autonomy stack the range and bearing data it needs to steer clear of hazards that radar or AIS alone can miss.
FLIR camera models designed for USV applications deliver every video frame paired with synchronized metadata, giving autonomy systems the accurate, real-time information needed for sensor fusion, target tracking, geolocation, and closed-loop control.
By keeping imagery and data perfectly aligned, FLIR cameras for USV applications improve analytics, enable faster automated decisions, and support detailed environmental monitoring and mapping with minimal disturbance.
Purpose-built imaging for autonomous maritime operations, the FLIR M364C-USV combines thermal imaging, low-light colour video, and synchronised metadata to deliver dependable situational awareness.
Purpose-built for USVs and remote vessel systems, it helps improve navigation, object detection, tracking, and mission performance while simplifying integration with autonomy software and control systems.
