Teledyne FLIR Marine, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has introduced the FLIR M364C-USV, a multispectral maritime camera system designed to help autonomous and uncrewed surface vessel (USV) operators navigate safely, detect hazards sooner, and maintain situational awareness in demanding marine environments. Combining thermal and visible imaging in a rugged, mission-ready platform, the M364C-USV enables reliable operation day or night and in challenging conditions such as glare, haze, and low visibility.

Built specifically for remote, autonomous, and uncrewed operations, the M364C-USV delivers the clear, actionable imagery needed for navigation, obstacle avoidance, surveillance, security, environmental monitoring, and scientific research. Its reinforced pan-and-tilt system and continuous-duty design help ensure critical visual intelligence remains available throughout extended missions.

“Autonomous and uncrewed vessels depend on reliable sensing technologies to operate safely and effectively in dynamic maritime environments,” said Michelle Hildyard, General Manager of Teledyne FLIR Marine. “The M364C-USV delivers the real-time visibility and situational awareness operators need to make better decisions, avoid hazards and support mission success, while providing the durability required for continuous operation at sea.”

Designed specifically for autonomous and uncrewed vessel applications, the M364C-USV helps developers accelerate deployment by simplifying integration with autonomy, remote-control, and mission-management systems. The camera delivers high-quality thermal and visible imagery that supports advanced analytics, AI-enabled workflows, and machine-vision applications, while aligned video and telemetry data provide more reliable inputs for tracking, navigation, and situational awareness. Combined with a design that is built for demanding marine environments, the M364C-USV gives operators a dependable imaging solution for long-duration autonomous missions.

The M364C-USV helps vessel operators maintain awareness and navigate successfully in changing environmental conditions. By combining thermal and visible imaging, the camera system improves the detection of vessels, navigation markers, and other obstacles during daylight, darkness, and low-visibility conditions, helping support safer and more effective operations.

M364C-USV camera systems are available to order now and are backed by a two-year limited warranty tailored to the continuous, high-duty-cycle operating profiles typical of USV platforms.
