Sierra-Olympia: Pioneers in Infrared Thermal Imaging for Drones our state-of-the-art thermal imaging camera modules are designed for drones, UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), and various unmanned systems. These high-definition cameras prioritize SWaP (size, weight, and power) efficiency, enabling seamless integration across diverse platforms. They excel in visibility under complete darkness and can penetrate smoke, fog, and haze.
Our thermal cameras for drones and robotics are equipped with advanced stabilization software, ensuring remarkable image clarity. They also feature robust built-in video processing capabilities, including scene tracking, target and vehicle tracking, and moving target indication.
