Teledyne FLIR OEM, a unit of Teledyne Technologies, introduced the Lepton XDS, a compact dual‑thermal‑visible camera module that integrates the company’s patented MSX® (Multi‑Spectral Dynamic Imaging) technology into a single, ITAR‑free package. The module is engineered for rapid integration into space‑ and power‑constrained OEM products, offering a small form factor and built‑in Prism ISP processing that delivers radiometric overlays, spot meters, and regions of interest.
The Lepton XDS builds on the success of the Lepton family, which has already seen millions of units embedded in consumer, industrial, and defense applications. By combining a visible camera, a proven micro‑thermal sensor, and onboard processing, the new module enables OEMs to deliver clearer thermal imagery for faster user interpretation. "MSX technology has long been a defining advantage of Teledyne FLIR, and with Lepton XDS, we are making that capability accessible in a compact, OEM‑ready module," said Mike Walters, vice president of product management at Teledyne FLIR OEM.
The launch comes after Teledyne Technologies’ Q4 2025 earnings, which saw net sales rise 7.3% to $1.612 billion and non‑GAAP diluted EPS increase 14.1% to $6.30, beating analyst expectations. The company’s strong performance, particularly the 40.4% increase in Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment sales, underscores the strategic fit of the Lepton XDS within a portfolio that is already well positioned in defense and industrial markets.
By offering an ITAR‑free, ECCN 6A003.b.4.b‑classified module, Teledyne FLIR OEM expands its reach to commercial customers worldwide while maintaining compliance with U.S. export controls. The compact design and integrated processing reduce integration time and cost for OEMs, positioning the company to capture demand in emerging unmanned and embedded systems markets.
The Lepton XDS launch at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona signals Teledyne’s commitment to delivering advanced imaging solutions that meet the evolving needs of defense, industrial, and consumer markets. The product’s combination of dual‑thermal and visible imaging, coupled with MSX® technology, provides a differentiated capability that can accelerate innovation across a broad range of applications, from fire detection and EV battery monitoring to robotics navigation and smart infrastructure.
