Aurora


Ruggedized Amber RADIANCE IR Camera



The RADIANCE AURORA is a repackage of the standard RADIANCE 1 infrared camera into a highly rugged configuration.

Aurora is designed to enable RADIANCE IR camera technology for military and paramilitary applications as a nondevelopmental item (NDI). Aurora is ideally suited for applications such as weapon sights, tracking mounts, and military vehicle FLIR. Aurora can also replace the RADIANCE IR camera in Argus-based systems to further extend operating temperature ranges and ruggedness.

Aurora is cooled by thermal conduction to a user-furnished heatsink. There are no vents or circulating fans. The camera is protected against particulate contamination (i.e. dust and sand), but is not environmentally sealed. It is intended to be used in mounting configurations that are shielded from weather. Aurora uses MIL-C-26482 connectors and is packaged into a rugged chassis which is designed to withstand the environmental conditions encountered in outdoor service. Aurora electronics have been redesigned and repackaged to provide greater resistance to deterioration or damage due to shock and/or vibration.

The optical interface of Aurora is designed to accommodate standard RADIANCE optics. The mount utilizes a bayonet-style flange which facilitates quick connect and disconnect of compatible lenses. Aurora is delivered with a 25 mm focal length lens. Other lens options are available.
