Australian drone manufacturer SYPAQ Systems and thermal imaging company Teledyne FLIR OEM have announced their CorvoX small unmanned aerial systems will feature a Boson thermal infrared camera.
The new CorvoX is under contract to be delivered to the Australian Army in December this year under the Australian Defence Force DEF 129 SUAS program for dismounted soldier operations.
Developed specifically for dismounted soldier operations, CorvoX is configured with the Corvo Guarda 70-DN EO/IR payload, featuring a 640 x 512 resolution Boson, delivering thermal imaging performance, seeing through darkness, smoke and most fog.
“The Thermal by FLIR program represents a natural evolution of our commitment to delivering world-class sovereign defence capabilities globally,” according to SYPAQ Systems managing director and chief executive officer Amanda Holt.
“The Boson integration into our CorvoX platform exemplifies how strategic collaborations between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States (AUKUS) nations can accelerate the development and delivery of advanced technologies into the hands of the warfighters.”
The Boson is paired with an electro-optical sensor and resides within a two-axis mechanical system with advanced stabilisation algorithms for geo-lock, object detection and moving target tracking, essential for modern reconnaissance and surveillance missions.
“The CorvoX showcases the versatility and performance of our size, weight, and power (SWAP) optimised Boson thermal sensor in demanding uncrewed applications,” said Jared Faraudo, Teledyne FLIR OEM vice president of product management.
“SYPAQ’s commitment to sovereign manufacturing and secure, high-volume supply chains aligns with our mission to enable innovative, market-leading thermal infrared technology worldwide.”
