Teledyne FLIR

And we do that based on a, a, a system on module that's, you know, four by three centimeters, that's, uh, easily put in, and we work with a bunch of camera vendors.

Um, the Teledyne FLIR, which is, uh, based in Orange County, also big thermal imaging camera, uh, to kind of enable a system that gives the smarts to the drone.

So that's the new business in my mind in a couple years that, um, we've been working on in the aerospace and defense, but Lantronix has got a great legacy of innovation and technology.

We've been headquartered in Orange County.

He rejects the story that the Air Force boarded the Nimitz strike group and seized all the data.

He also rejects claims that there's a longer, higher resolution video of the Nimitz, um, at FLIR video.

Um, that statement concern, uh...

So yeah, that's just on the Nimitz footage stuff, though not every military video out there.

Makes sense.

Favorite meter? I really like FLIR.

okay you get the clear meter with the built-in thermal camera that thing's top notch checking why you don't have voltage or something's going wrong with the panel you tested all your voltages turn that thermal camera on take a picture of it boom two tools in one yeah

love it i didn't expect that

I've had Laurie Chapman Longfreet on many times.

To watch the only Medal of Honor action ever recorded by FLIR, if we're looking for it right here, go to YouTube and look up Alone at Dawn and watch in silent awe.

Note that Chapman earned not one but two Medals of Honors, and he is mortally wounded twice.

Apart from Gold Star families, there's nothing that our military community reveres more or takes more seriously than the Medal of Honor.

So we're not quite as complex as what you might see on a Cal Fire response, but we, we coordinate that, uh, that aircraft movement inside of the search area to, to keep everybody safe, give some, some people the, uh, the heads-up about where everybody else is at.

And then in addition to that, I'm also our ... or one of the FLIR operations officers, which is a forward-looking infrared sensor here in Bakersfield.

Uh, the California Wing Civil Air Patrol has one thermal imaging sensor that's attached to an aircraft in California, and it's located here.

We respond to calls anywhere in the state.

Uh, the most recent one was up in Santa Clara County.

And like I said, we've been all over the state with it.

We actually have a confirmed save using the FLIR on the side of our aircraft, and we did that about a year ago now I wanted to bring up tonight, you know, we're talking about search and rescue, but, you know, what things are gonna keep you safe when you go out, and I made some notes here for that.

Uh, probably the big thing is to tell people where you're going.

The next logical step was to look for independent verification beyond oral testimony, videos, sensor data, and physical samples.

Since 2020, the Pentagon has released three FLIR videos from Nimitz and Theodore Roosevelt, plus a handful of drone footage that some analysts have labeled UAPs.

None of these clips were introduced in the July hearing, but they illustrate the type of evidence the House members were asking to see.

Something concrete that could stand up under scientific scrutiny.

The Department of Defense under Hegseth has moved military tech into the border, and one of those is a Flur system.

But also you'll see that in New York City, you'll see often attached to helicopters that are flying around the city are these FLIR cameras.

And one of the things that really drives me nuts about FLIR is that they go to cities and they say, hey, we know about this federal grant that you can use to buy our technology.

Let's help you process that grant.

Let's help you write that grant.

On the opposite side of the trail, we saw another shape crouching up and down behind a tree, like it was trying to get an angle on us.

We got a few pictures with the FLIR.

They aren't great, because the distance was far enough that thermal doesn't give detail.

It's basically what people call a blob-squatch.
