JAI cameras for aerospace, defense, surveillance, and government labs

When reliable performance is critical, customers rely on JAI.

Proven track record

JAI’s experience with aerospace, defense and surveillance systems covers projects around the world. Our cameras keep everything from ground vehicles to commercial airliners aware of their surroundings; give pilots real-time, head-up data; identify faces in the crowd or at entry gates; and much more.

Cameras built to perform

Selected for their high speed, high resolution, compactness, and sturdy construction, JAI cameras include models with operating temperatures from -45˚C to +70˚C, high shock and vibration ratings, and resolutions up to 45-megapixels, enabling system designers to meet the challenges of accuracy and reliability under the most rigorous conditions.

Prism and multispectral technology for advanced imaging

JAI’s industry-leading prism technology provides unique multi-sensor, multispectral capabilities with a common optical path for perfect alignment of all wavebands. Standard single-sensor models span the spectrum from UV to NIR, and offer high dynamic range (HDR) functions, automatic level control (ALC), and other capabilities well-suited to the outdoor and day/night conditions typical of applications in these markets.

Supporting a range of specialized application requirements

With years of experience supporting demanding defense, aerospace, and surveillance applications, JAI works closely with you to ensure you have the right product and the right process for a successful project.

With JAI´s comprehensive product line of industrial cameras, JAI helps builders of electro-optical systems build innovative solutions that win bids and deliver results.

Typical government, aerospace, defense and surveillance applications

Head-up displays (HUD)

JAI cameras are part of systems that give pilots visual access to critical flight information while allowing them to focus their attention outside the cockpit for potential conflicts or threats.

Facial recognition

Cameras offering combinations of high-speed and high resolution enable the capture of clear and detailed images required by advanced identification systems.

Aircraft landings

Enhanced vision systems utilize multispectral capabilities to recognize runway environments in darkness, smoke, haze, rain, fog and other low visibility conditions.

Border and entry surveillance

Remote lens control, HDR functions, auto-exposure control, ROI capabilities, NIR sensitivity, and other advanced features can be utilized in specialized vision systems to secure borders, entry gates, and other sensitive areas.

Advanced EO research projects

Advanced camera technologies from multispectral to polarization are used by various government labs and research facilities in the development of new vision-based solutions across many industries.
