CA-247 Infrared Framing Camera

The Recon Optical CA-247 infrared (IR) framing camera fills the need for high-resolution, wide-area coverage, persistent surveillance on a variety of airborne platforms. The CA-247 incorporates the largest mid-wave infrared (MWIR) detector available (4-Mpixel), producing high-resolution infrared imagery, day or night. It covers 13 times more ground area than a standard 640 x 840 FLIR at equivalent resolution.

A step-stare, gimballed option operates at 4.5 frames per second with an integral GPS/INS for geo-positional accuracy. Network interfaces for camera output and command/control permit remote operation with up to 6-8 hours of continuous operation. The NITF 2.1 compliant image output has full metadata support.

Its small size enables installation of the CA-247 in various platforms, including unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and business-jet sized commercial aircraft.
