Tau™ 2+
Longwave Infrared Thermal Camera Module with Enhanced Performance and Increased Sensitivity
Made in USA, the Tau 2+ is the most advanced, highest performance longwave infrared (LWIR) Tau 2 camera model from Teledyne FLIR. It maintains the widely deployed and real-world-tested Tau 2 mechanical, electrical, and optical interfaces allowing plug-and-play with existing designs. Its new 1.5x sensitivity improvement and an entirely redesigned image processing engine deliver dramatically enhanced scene contrast and sharpness.
Tau 2+ is the go-to thermal camera module for the most challenging environments, including detection of the smallest, hardest to find targets over long distances. Enhanced LWIR thermal performance and market-leading reliability provide low-risk development in the short run and the long run, making it the ideal thermal camera module for unmanned vehicles, security applications, and thermal sights.

DETECT OBJECTS AT GREATER DISTANCES
NEDT of <25 mK extends detection, recognition, and identification (DRI) performance
- 1.5x increase in thermal sensitivity
- 640 x 480 VGA resolution
- Simple optical interface accommodates integrator-designed optics

RESOLVE KEY INFORMATION WITH SHARPER IMAGES AND IMPROVED CONTRAST
Best in class image processing algorithm provides clearer thermal details in challenging environments
- New level of minimum resolvable of temperature difference (MRTD)
- Low image noise
- Improves scene contrast with blacker blacks and whiter whites

DESIGNED FOR INTEGRATORS
Shared Tau 2 interface and access to US-based Technical Services team reduce development risk and shorten time to market
- Commercial off-the-shelf connectors including USB, CMOS, Camera Link, or Ethernet
