Leonardo DRS Launches Tenum® 640 Orbit™ Uncooled Thermal Drone Camera at SOF Week | DRS Stock News

Thermal Payload Optimized for High-Volume OEM Integration in Multiple Applications ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leonardo DRS, Inc. (Nasdaq: DRS) announced today the launch of Tenum® 640 Orbit™, an advanced uncooled long-wave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera module optimized for unmanned air, ground, and maritime platforms. The company will debut Tenum® 640 Orbit™ at SOF Week in Tampa, FL (May 18-21).“Unmanned systems are fielding at scale. Integrators and operators need thermal cameras that are both mission-capable and integration-friendly,” said Greg Christison, vice president, Sensors & Aviation, at Leonardo DRS. “Tenum® 640 Orbit™ is a size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-c) optimized OEM camera module to help accelerate integration timelines and enable broader deployment across small, unmanned platforms without compromising performance.”Configured for high-volume integration for Group 1-3 UAV, Tenum® 640 Orbit™ is an ideal cost-optimized payload for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), and unmanned surface vessel (USV) applications. The module is built around an uncooled VOx microbolometer and delivers 640 x 512 resolution with 10 µm pixel pitch in the 8-14 µm spectral band.Tenum® 640 Orbit™ provides persistent high frame-rate thermal imagery for detection, tracking, navigation, and collision/obstacle avoidance in day/night and degraded-visibility environments, extending endurance for small unmanned systems in an ultra-compact footprint. The camera core supports 60 frames per second (fps) and delivers <20 mK thermal sensitivity. Built to streamline OEM integration, Tenum® 640 Orbit™ is Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) camera serial interface (CSI) / camera command set (CCS) compatible with optional USB connectivity and configurable video outputs.Leonardo DRS will provide additional information and product demonstrations of Tenum® 640 Orbit™ at SOF Week (May 18-21). Attendees are invited to visit Leonardo DRS to learn how our uncooled camera technology enables scalable thermal imaging for unmanned platforms through simplified integration and cost-efficient deployment.For more information, please visit LeonardoDRS.com/TenumOrbit.About Leonardo DRSLeonardo DRS, Inc.
