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

FLIR Tau 2 for OEM Applications

Since the electrical functions are common between the Tau 2+ and Tau 2 640 and 336, integrators have direct compatibility between the different camera formats, and Tau 2 camera versions share many of the same lens options. Making them well-suited for demanding applications like:

  • UAV & UGV Systems
  • Component Analysis
  • OEM Handheld Imagers
  • Nighttime Navigation
  • Security Systems
  • Electrical Inspection 
  • Aerial Photography
