FLIR Maritime for Superyachts
Modern superyachts are both floating works of art as well as technological masterpieces. The electronic systems fitted to these vessels must meet exceptionally high standards for performance, durability, reliability as well as good looks. FLIR’s M400 and M500 Advanced Thermal Imaging Systems have earned their place on the masts of many of the world’s finest yachts.
FLIR Systems has been a key player in superyacht technology for many years. Night vision technology started out as an expensive novelty but has since proven itself to be a must-have capability on any well-equipped vessel. Owners of superyachts recognize the value of these systems, and the enhancements to ship safety and security they can bring
More than just “night vision”, FLIR marine thermal camera systems incorporate multiple camera payloads capable of imaging in both the infrared thermal and visible light spectrums. This gives them true around-the-clock usefulness and makes them an even more important part of the ship’s navigation suite both in-port and underway.
Navigate Smarter and Avoid Danger
Day or night FLIR thermal imaging detects hazards like jetties, rocks, debris, navigation aids, and more. Charged by daylight these objects continue to emit infrared energy all night long. Thermal imaging instantly detects small and unlit targets like kayaks, paddleboards, and personal watercraft too.
Enhanced Situational Awareness
FLIR thermal imagers make it easy to confirm the positions of navigation aids and landmarks. Systems with pan, tilt and zoom gimbals can even integrate with select multifunction navigation displays and radar systems making target ID even easier.
Thermal imaging instantly reveals other vessels masked by background lighting and solar glare. Because they use heat and not light to see, FLIR cameras deliver the same high-quality images day or night.
Safety and Security
Thermal imaging not only lets you see approaching vessels, but also the activities of those onboard. Many systems offer digital and optical zoom to further enhance small or distant objects.
