Visitors to SPIE Defense + Security 2026 discovered how a collective of Teledyne business units and subsidiaries is advancing defense applications through high-performance sensing and imaging technologies.
Accelerating insight through advanced IR imaging
Central to the showcase was research and science cameras from Teledyne FLIR, developed to provide exceptional infrared (IR) imaging performance in demanding environments. Combining advanced detector technologies, high-speed data acquisition, calibrated radiometric measurement, precision optics, and flexible integration, the cameras enable precise visualization and quantification of complex thermal phenomena, even in fast-changing or low-signal conditions.
Integration with FLIR Research Studio software streamlines thermal image acquisition, processing, and analysis within a single, intuitive, research-focused workflow. By reducing set-up time, minimizing complexity, and accelerating the transition from data capture to actionable insight, users gain from faster, more reliable, and more confident thermal analysis.
Complementing these imaging systems, Teledyne FLIR Defense Optics solutions drive innovation in industrial, scientific, and defense technologies. From integrated laser systems to advanced crystals and optics, our products deliver the precision and reliability needed for the most demanding applications. Explore how our components enhance imaging, targeting, and performance across industries.
A full cooperative of sensing expertise
Numerous further Teledyne business units and subsidiaries demonstrated complementary capabilities across the sensing spectrum.
Teledyne Scientific Cameras, for example, highlighted its cutting-edge innovations for quantitative imaging, including the new VIS-SWIR SCION camera platform. Designed for demanding applications such as defense, security, and space, VIS-SWIR SCION offers high sensitivity, speed, and flexibility to capture dynamic events with exceptional clarity across extended spectral ranges.
Teledyne Judson Technologies, meanwhile, spotlighted its portfolio of high-performance IR detectors and integrated solutions, supporting applications from military safety to surveillance and space missions. Another focus product was the CESIUM integrated dewar cooler, a scalable, space-ready platform designed to enhance signal-to-noise performance while reducing size, weight, power, and cost in mission-critical systems.
Also on display was Teledyne Scientific’s Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC), delivering highly stable, low drift timing in a compact, low power form factor for defense and security applications operating in GPS challenged environments.
Elsewhere on the booth, Teledyne e2v provided insight into its latest image sensor technologies, with a new product release unveiled shortly before the event, reinforcing its reputation for high-speed, low- noise imaging solutions tailored to applications that include defense and aerospace.
Adding further to the visitor experience, Teledyne DALSA highlighted its decades of thermal imaging expertise, with uncooled LWIR microbolometer detectors that enable high performance, small, light, and low power camera solutions for an ever-expanding range of applications.
