Bodkin Design & Engineering (BD&E) developed technology for a LWIR imager for integration with the next generation of the Javelin Missile system for the US Army. The system includes networking and laser range finding capabilities for far-target location. The prototype developed by BD&E is based on an uncooled design which reduces power consumption requirements, weight, and the number of batteries needed by soldiers in the field.
Applications include:
- Man-portable fire control and missile systems
- UAV or vehicle-mounted surveillance and reconnaissance systems
- Fire-fighting equipment
- Medical imaging
- Non-destructive testing and surveillance
- Enhanced vision systems for aircraft and sea vehicles
- Law enforcement
- Predictive maintenance
- Environmental monitoring
