Australias New Military Drone Set To Enhance Situational Awareness In Combat Zones
The latest addition to Teledyne FLIR OEM’s Thermal by FLIR program is the CorvoX small unmanned aerial system (sUAS), featuring the Boson thermal infrared (IR) camera. Developed in collaboration with SYPAQ Systems, an Australian sovereign drone manufacturer, the CorvoX has been selected for the Australian Defence Force DEF129 SUAS program to provide best-in-class situational awareness for military-grade sUAS operations.
Designed for dismounted soldier operations, the CorvoX features a 640 x 512 resolution Boson camera delivering world-leading thermal imaging performance. The Boson is paired with an electro-optical (EO) sensor and resides within a two-axis mechanical system with advanced stabilization algorithms, enabling geo-lock, object detection, and moving target tracking.
The Boson camera module is part of Teledyne FLIR OEM’s Thermal by FLIR program, which aims to enable thermal imaging innovation globally. The program represents a natural evolution of the company’s commitment to delivering world-class sovereign defense capabilities.
SYPAQ Systems CEO Amanda Holt stated, “The Thermal by FLIR program represents a natural evolution of our commitment to delivering world-class sovereign defense capabilities globally.” She added that the Boson integration into the CorvoX platform exemplifies how strategic collaborations between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States (AUKUS) nations can accelerate the development and delivery of advanced technologies into the hands of warfighters.
The CorvoX sUAS features an innovative thrust-vectored vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) configuration that delivers class-leading endurance in extreme weather and up to 35 miles per hour (mph) of wind. The system also includes a novel memory structure that prevents sensitive intelligence from leaking during the mission, and onboard artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities are updated constantly.
The CorvoX is designed for hand-thrown or ground VTOL takeoff, reducing the physical and cognitive load on operators. SYPAQ Systems will showcase the CorvoX at Indo Pacific 2025 in Sydney, Australia, November 4-6, 2025, to demonstrate its next-generation capability firsthand.
Teledyne FLIR OEM has also announced the release of radiometric versions of its high-performance Boson+ thermal and Hadron 640R+ dual thermal-visible camera modules. These new models provide pixel-level temperature measurement, expanding their capabilities for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), security, handhelds, and AI applications.
The radiometric Boson+ and Hadron 640R+ offer thermal sensitivity of 20 millikelvin (mK) or better, enabling detection of temperature differences as small as 0.02°C. These cameras integrate with Teledyne FLIR’s Prism AI software for detection, tracking, and classification, enabling AI-driven decision-making based on temperature data.
The Boson+ models are available in 640 x 512 and 320 x 256 longwave infrared (LWIR) resolution options, with multiple lens configurations. They feature automatic gain control (AGC) and direct data entry plus (DDE+), which enhance scene contrast, sharpness, and reduce video latency.
These camera modules are NDAA-compliant and ITAR-free, making them accessible for commercial and defense applications worldwide. Teledyne FLIR OEM has developed these cameras to support manufacturers in integrating advanced thermal imaging into their products.
In related news, Sentera is expanding its payload capabilities by integrating Teledyne FLIR’s Boson thermal camera modules into its 6X Thermal series. The company is enhancing its 6X Thermal and 6X Thermal Pro sensors with high-precision radiometric thermal mapping, making them powerful tools for applications ranging from agriculture to industrial inspections.
DJI has also unveiled the Mavic 3TA Enterprise Drone with upgraded thermal technology, targeting professionals in search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and public safety. The drone features enhanced thermal imaging for sharper detection in demanding environments.
The Mavic 3TA builds directly on the Mavic 3T’s foundation but elevates its thermal camera with key refinements, including an 8 μm pixel pitch for finer detail and improved accuracy in temperature readings. This upgrade allows for better resolution at longer ranges, with a narrower 41.2° diagonal field of view (DFOV) and a 60 mm equivalent focal length.
The Mavic 3TA also retains the compact, foldable design of the Enterprise series, weighing 920 g (2 lbs) without accessories and a maximum takeoff weight of 1,050 g (2.3 lbs). It delivers up to 45 minutes of flight time under ideal conditions, with a maximum distance of 32 km (20 miles) or 24 km (15 miles) in EU C1 configurations.
The Mavic 3TA features enhanced thermal imaging capabilities, including point and area measurements, high-temperature alerts, customizable color palettes, and isotherms. The drone also includes a novel memory structure that prevents sensitive intelligence from leaking during the mission and onboard AI capabilities are updated constantly.
