Teledyne FLIR OEM Launches New Brand and Website to Support Secure US Innovation

Trusted US Thermal Imaging Leader Responds to Growing Demand for NDAA-Compliant Solutions

Teledyne FLIR OEM, a leading US-based manufacturer of thermal imaging technology, has announced a major update to its brand and the launch of a new website. This move aims to strengthen the supply chain and speed up innovation in infrared imaging for a range of industries, including defense, automotive, and uncrewed systems.

A Trusted US Brand at the Forefront of Security

Teledyne FLIR is widely recognized as a top US brand in thermal imaging technology. As the need for secure US platforms grows rapidly, especially in defense and government sectors, the company’s focus on National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)-compliant and ITAR-free products has become more important than ever. Secure US platforms are now seen as critical for defense innovation and national security, driving increased demand for trusted suppliers like Teledyne FLIR.

Brand Evolution and Enhanced Support

The new brand identity and dedicated website, found at oem.flir.com, are designed to make it easier for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to access technical resources and development support. The update highlights four key pillars of the Teledyne FLIR OEM approach: unmatched production reliability, innovative integrated solutions, flexible development collaboration, and over 30 years of certified quality excellence.

Paul Clayton, president and general manager of Teledyne FLIR OEM, explained: “We are a U.S.-based Other Transaction Authority (OTA)-friendly nontraditional defense contractor, uniquely positioned to support high-speed, high-volume development programs. We’re not just another supplier—we continuously work to be the lowest-risk choice for intelligent infrared imaging design and manufacturing. Our proven capabilities directly contribute to our customers’ mission success.”

Production Reliability and Integrated Solutions

Teledyne FLIR OEM delivers thousands of infrared sensors, modules, and cameras every day for defense, professional, automotive, and uncrewed applications. This high-volume production ensures both quality and consistency—two qualities that are essential for mission-critical OEM uses.

The company’s vertical integration allows it to combine advanced thermal imaging hardware and zoom lenses with embedded Prism™ software. This combination brings artificial intelligence (AI) and smart infrared imaging to the edge, supporting new autonomous operations. By controlling both design and manufacturing, Teledyne FLIR OEM delivers industry-leading performance and value, giving its customers a strong competitive edge.

Collaboration and Quality Excellence

The brand update also reflects a commitment to better support system integrators. The company aims to make collaboration easier and help partners bring new products to market faster. With more than 30 years of certified quality manufacturing, Teledyne FLIR OEM provides a reliable foundation for long-term product success and customer satisfaction.

OEM partners can now explore the improved experience and access dedicated development support through the new website.

Meeting the Rising Need for Secure, NDAA-Compliant Platforms

As highlighted in DRONELIFE’s recent coverage, the demand for NDAA-compliant and ITAR-free platforms is rising quickly in the US defense and OEM markets.
