Sentera Joins Thermal by FLIR Program, Elevates 6X Thermal Sensor Series for Precision UAS Applications
March 27, 2025
Teledyne FLIR OEM, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), announced on March 25th that Sentera Sensors and Drones, a leading provider of advanced sensors and data, has joined the Thermal by FLIR program. Integrating FLIR Boson® thermal camera modules into the Sentera 6X Thermal Series adds new high-precision thermal mapping capabilities to their integrated multispectral and RGB drone payload platform.
Designed for seamless integration with leading UAS platforms, the Sentera 6X Thermal Series supports agriculture, outdoor, and industrial applications ranging from evaporation analysis, water stress monitoring, and forest fire detection to industrial inspections and infrastructure analysis.
“Precision thermal mapping has long been a challenge due to alignment and stitching issues. By combining FLIR’s trusted thermal technology with Sentera’s automated multispectral-assisted processing, we’re making it easier for users to capture, process, and analyze high-quality thermal data with confidence,” said Eric Taipale, chief technology officer, Sentera.
The NDAA-compliant Sentera 6X Thermal Series, including the 6X Thermal and 6X Thermal Pro, feature either the radiometric FLIR Boson 640R or 320R imager alongside four synchronized 3.2MP monochrome imagers and a 20MP RGB sensor.
“Sentera’s innovative approach to combining thermal, multispectral, and visible imaging in a unified sensor package represents a market-changing innovation the Thermal by FLIR program was designed to support,” said Jared Faraudo, vice president of product management, Teledyne FLIR OEM. “By incorporating our compact, high-performance radiometric Boson modules within advanced multispectral technology, Sentera delivers unprecedented thermal mapping accuracy paired with pixel-level temperature measurement data for agriculture to public safety applications.”
Sentera 6X Thermal Series joins a growing ecosystem of innovative Thermal by FLIR products that solve critical problems across industries from agriculture to automotive to defense, including mobile devices, drones, augmented reality solutions, and wearables.
The Thermal by FLIR program is a cooperative product development and marketing initiative that supports original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and product innovators who use Teledyne FLIR OEM thermal camera modules within integrated products. The program helps integrators accelerate time to market, lower development risk and costs, and expand business growth.
