Imaging System
For applications constrained by aggressive size, weight
and power, DRS Technologies Tamarisk family of 17 m
uncooled thermal imaging modules offer flexible solutions
to ensure your projects success. With DRS patented
microbolometer superstructure, Tamarisk camera
modules provide greater sensitivity and superior image
quality at an
affordable price. Regardless of lighting conditions,
Tamarisk modules produce crystal clear imagery during
day, night
and challenging environmental conditions such as smoke,
dust, haze and fog.
