Thermal Cores for Platforms That Cannot Afford to Fail.
Defense applications set the standard for what thermal imaging technology must deliver: extreme reliability, wide operating temperature ranges, high sensitivity, and the ability to integrate into complex multi-sensor architectures. In this sector, the established names have long dominated procurement, particularly at the system level. But for the integrators and prime contractors who build the platforms, access to high-performance, customizable thermal cores from a qualified European supplier is increasingly strategic, particularly in the context of sovereignty requirements and supply chain resilience.
Senssight is a French company, part of the BNEO group, delivering LWIR thermal camera cores designed and calibrated in-house. Our cores are based on LYNRED sensors — a European sensor manufacturer with deep roots in the French defense and space industry — giving our defense customers a fully European supply chain from pixel to software.
Ernest 10, our new XGA core, pushes image resolution and scene detail to the next level, opening new possibilities for observation, target detection and identification at range. Combined with our radiometric calibration capability, wide FOV options and full SDK, Senssight cores are designed to integrate into the demanding architectures of modern defense platforms: weapon sights, observation systems, UGVs, and soldier-worn equipment.
European performance. European sovereignty. No compromise.
Defense platforms require thermal imaging components that can perform reliably in complex, high-stakes environments. Whether integrated into observation systems, weapon sights, vehicle-mounted sensors, UGVs or soldier-worn equipment, the thermal core must deliver consistent image quality while meeting strict constraints in size, power consumption, robustness and system compatibility.
Senssight thermal camera cores are designed to support integrators developing mission-ready infrared imaging systems. Their compact architecture makes them suitable for embedded defense applications where space is limited, while their image processing capabilities help improve detection, observation and situational awareness in low-light, night-time or degraded visibility conditions.
For prime contractors and defense equipment manufacturers, choosing a European thermal core supplier also supports greater control over integration, customization and long-term supply chain resilience.
Modern defense systems need more than a thermal image. They need accurate, exploitable infrared data that can be connected to multi-sensor architectures, onboard software, targeting systems or edge-processing environments.
Senssight LWIR thermal cores can support a wide range of defense use cases, from long-range observation and perimeter monitoring to target detection, vehicle awareness, reconnaissance and portable tactical systems. With radiometric calibration, wide field-of-view options and SDK support, they give engineering teams the flexibility to adapt the core to the platform, mission profile and software environment.
This modular approach helps integrators reduce development time while building thermal imaging solutions that meet the operational requirements of modern defense applications.
