BAE Systems 是全球领先的基于非冷却微测辐射热计的热成像引擎生产商。开发和生产非制冷红外 (IR) 技术的初始投资主要是由军事应用推动的，但具有大量产品潜力的商业市场为 BAE Systems 提供了投资非制冷红外技术所需的商业模式。本文回顾了 BAE Systems 技术和当前产品的遗产，是 DARPA 在 20 世纪 90 年代投资的双重用途技术领域的成功示例。
BAE Systems is the leading producer of uncooled microbolometer based thermal imaging engines in the world. Initial investments to develop and produce uncooled infrared (IR) technology were primarily driven by military applications, but it was the commercial market with the potential for large product volumes which provided BAE Systems with the business model required for investment in uncooled IR technology. This paper reviews the heritage of BAE Systems technology and current products and is an example of the success of a Dual-Use technology area which DARPA invested in during the 1990s.
