Multispectral FLIR cameras for USV – Advanced research and surveillance at sea

Discover how the FLIR M364C and M364C-LR combine thermal and HD imaging with intelligent analytics, remote control, and robust integration for autonomous marine applications.

The FLIR M364C and M364C-LR are advanced multispectral cameras that combine thermal and HD imaging with intelligent analytics. Perfect for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), research, surveillance and response applications – with a robust design and easy integration.

Advanced marine cameras for research and surveillance

Designed to provide maximum situational awareness on the water, the M364C and M364C-LR feature a low-light HD camera and one of FLIR’s most advanced thermal cores, offering a multispectral solution that combines performance, ease of integration, and rugged reliability.

The cameras are optimized for USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicles) and autonomous applications, with support for remote control and open integration capabilities.

Multispectral imaging technology – Elite Awareness

These dual-payload systems combine thermal and visual imaging with advanced features:

• Color Thermal Vision (CTV) – Blends thermal and visual images to add color details such as navigation lights and markings.
• Marine Video Analytics (MVA) – Identifies and highlights objects such as ships, marine life, or floating debris.
• Multispectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) – Creates high-contrast edges in thermal images for better detail and text readability.

HD navigation day and night

• Ultra-low-light HD sensor with long-range zoom for clear target detection.
• 30x optical zoom combined with mechanical and digital image stabilization for sharp images even in rough seas.
• AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) sensor provides a stable image through two-axis stabilization that counteracts swell and waves.

Optimized for unmanned applications

As Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) devices , the M364C and M364C-LR are designed for easy integration into UPS systems:

• Nexus CGI documentation and open SDK for easy control and display.
• Built-in support for Network Time Protocol (NTP) with pan/tilt/zoom metadata.
• Flexible video streams and the ability to remove OSD symbols.
• ONVIF compatibility for integration with various VMS (Video Management Systems).

Typical uses

• Scientific research and environmental monitoring
• Maritime security and border control
• Rescue services and response operations
• Autonomous and remotely piloted vehicles
