We work with Leonardo DRS because product performance has not been compromised for lower cost solutions. The Tenum 1280 carries a 1280 x 1024 sensor capable of performing at less than 30 mk noise equivalent temperature difference (with spatiotemporal filtering). This 10 micron technology uses DRS’s patented Advanced Absorber Microbolometer Superstructure which captures energy at a higher rate for higher quality image.
