Teledyne FLIR OEM has expanded its rebranded Neutrino ISR Series with the introduction of the Neutrino SX8 ISR 50-1000, representing the longest-range solution in the product lineup to date.
The new model is designed as a turnkey solution for integrators developing mid- and long-range Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems. By combining Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) camera modules with fully integrated 20x Continuous Zoom (CZ) lenses, the system aims to reduce development risk, costs, and time to market for technical providers. The 50 mm to 1000 mm CZ lens is factory integrated to optimize performance and simplify the assembly process for end-use applications.
Jared Faurado, Vice President of Product Management, Teledyne FLIR OEM, commented, “The ISR market in 2026 continues to expand to accommodate new applications and changing needs. The Neutrino SX8 ISR 50-1000 is engineered to meet the most demanding long-range requirements for border surveillance, perimeter security, and Counter-UAS (C-UAS) missions. The Neutrino ISR 50-1000 has the longest Detection, Recognition, and Identification (DRI) ranges in the Neutrino ISR series with vehicle detection at 34 km, recognition at 23.5 km, and identification at 20 km.”
At the core of the system is a cooled 1280×1024 thermal resolution Neutrino SX8 MWIR sensor with an 8 µm pixel pitch, which provides high-performance imaging and thermal sensitivity. To ensure long-term operational reliability, the module utilizes a Teledyne FLIR FL100 linear Stirling cooler. This component features a Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) of greater than 27,000 hours and is supported by a two-year warranty.
For modern networked environments, the module incorporates AgileCore imaging electronics from InVeo Designs LLC. This provides several industry-standard interface options, including Gigabit Ethernet, Camera Link, and HD-SDI. The hardware is also Prism AI ready, allowing integrators to utilize advanced models for detection, tracking, and classification. Additional data fidelity can be achieved through Prism ISP libraries, which offer features such as atmospheric turbulence mitigation, super-resolution, and contrast enhancement.
Teledyne FLIR OEM, a Teledyne Technologies Incorporated company, has confirmed the Neutrino SX8 ISR 50-1000 is NDAA-compliant and ITAR-free. It is classified under U.S. Department of Commerce jurisdiction as EAR 6A003.b.4.a, offering flexibility for development with international customers. To assist with implementation, the company provides a comprehensive Software Development Kit (SDK) alongside technical documentation and integration support.
