FLIR M560

The M560 is an AI-powered multi-spectral marine camera system engineered for advanced long-range performance. Featuring a cooled MWIR sensor with 14.9X thermal zoom, it delivers unrivaled clarity, precision and target tracking in the most demanding maritime environments. 

Long-Range Elite Marine Thermal Camera System

Long-Range Elite Marine Thermal Camera System

The M560 is an elite AI-powered multi spectral camera designed for the most demanding marine applications. The camera goes beyond conventional thermal imaging by combining a superior FLIR cooled MWIR thermal sensor with a 4K ultra low-light visible camera, a 12 km ITAR-free laser rangefinder and a long-range laser spotlight. M560 integrates these powerful sensor payloads into a rugged 3-axis stabilized gimbal housing, offering unmatched situational awareness and long-range detection capabilities with best-in-class image stabilization. 

Marine Target Tracking Built for Speed and Stability

FLIR AI Target Tracking technology employs an advanced neural network trained on the maritime environment. Combined with advanced algorithms the M560's AI Target Tracking automatically identifies and classifies common marine objects – like vessels, buoys, watercraft and people in the water – for easy interpretation. Once an object is classified and selected, the M560 intelligently tracks the target with dynamic pan and tilt control, maintaining precision even in rough seas, crowded waterways, and during high-speed maneuvers.

A Steady View with Three-Axis Stabilization

The M460 and M560 feature an innovative three-axis pan and tilt system that allows the sensor payload assembly to roll inside the gimbal housing - ensuring distraction free image quality in all conditions.

4K Vision for Elite Long-Range Target Identification

The M560's 4K day and night camera with 25x optical zoom lens for detailed observation and positive long range target identification. Paired with a powerful cooled MWIR thermal sensor, it enables precise visual confirmation in extreme environments. Whether tracking fast-moving targets or scanning distant horizons, the M560's ultra-low light sensitivity augments thermal imaging and delivers reliable target recognition.

Tight Beam Spotlight

Tight Beam Spotlight

The M560 features an integrated tight-beam laser spotlight for positively identifying vessels and people in the water. Illuminate objects up to 1km away.

Laser Range Finder

Accurately measure the distance and bearing to a target at long range and in poor visibility. Confidently measure ranges up 12KM (6.5nm). M560 cameras are available with or without the ITAR free laser range finder option.

M560 Models

The M560 is available with or without a pre-installed ITAR free laser range finder.
