Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

A new software tool enables quicker integration of infrared sensors by optimizing product design’s evaluation, development, testing, and validation phases. More specifically, the tool streamlines ...

It’s called IRST21 and it takes two years to produce a unit from Lockheed Martin in Orlando and Ocala. This highly advanced infrared sensor identifies the heat signature from friction as air passes ...

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

When intelligence-gathering matures from finding and following an individual or vehicle to monitoring entire groups to understand their intent, the narrow, “soda straw” field-of-view of conventional ...

Incorporating a remotely mounted infrared sensor head connected to a high-performance, microprocessor-based signal conditioner, the OS100E series of miniature infrared transmitters measure a ...

The F-22 will receive an embedded set of TacIRST sensors as part of the Infrared Defensive System to enhance aircraft survivability and lethality. Lockheed Martin announced on Jan. 22, 2025, that it ...
