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.
