Enabling Technologies Spurs EOIR System Adoption

With an increase in military troops deploying electro-optical/infrared (EOIR) systems in land, air, sea and unmanned vehicles for critical mission requirements such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, providers have found reason to develop more innovative products. Technology developers are focusing on designing miniaturized EOIR systems allowing sufficient heat dissipation and meet industry standards, without compromising on performance.
“Enhancements in cost-effective cooling techniques will enable industry participants to lower the price of cooled thermal imaging cameras, which will encourage the proliferation of EOIR systems in the military and aerospace sectors,” said TechVision Research Analyst Jabez Mendelson. “Thermal imaging sensors are expected to greatly influence target detection and surveillance systems.”
The materials used in the development of detectors for thermal imaging cameras in EO systems play a critical role in the performance of the sensors. The chemical composition of these materials influences the sensitivity of the sensors in EOIR systems and defines the spectral bands of the cooled and uncooled detectors in the EOIR systems.
“Due to the use of appropriate materials to develop key enabling technologies, there are plenty of opportunities for the expanded applications of EOIR sensors in the aerospace industry, including in unmanned aerial vehicles,” reasoned Mendelson. “Cost reductions in advanced IR detectors and improvements in the resolution of low-end IR microbolometers will widen the application scope of EOIR sensors to include gas detection, pollution monitoring and thermal imaging in handheld electronic devices.”
The U.S. expects to lead the global military and aerospace market in the development of next-generation EOIR systems, followed by the European Union. Asia-Pacific, on the other hand, is likely to be the fastest adopter of these systems.
