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 ...

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 ...

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.

As the U.S. Army produces third-generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensors, officials are exploring emerging capabilities that might be integrated into fourth-generation systems. FLIR ...

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 ...

The MAX44006/MAX44008 integrate six sensors in two products: red, green, blue (RGB) sensors; an ambient light (clear) sensor; a temperature sensor; and an ambient infrared sensor with an I²C interface ...

Phlux Technology, a specialist in avalanche photodiode (APD) infrared sensors, has announced growing interest in its patented Noiseless InGaAs technology from manufacturers of high-end hunting and ...

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 ...

Lockheed Martin’s vaunted F-22 air superiority fighter is set to receive a new passive threat-detection system meant to increase survivability. The military airframer received a $270 million contract ...

Advanced-technology sensors, coupled with data processing and fusion and networked communications, have enabled new approaches to warfighting and have been essential for reducing combat losses, ...
