HULK 640: High-resolution Uncooled Long-wave Kernel. Engineered, manufactured and supported in the EU.
NDAA-Compliant · Made in the European Union
High-resolution Uncooled Long-wave Kernel · 640×480 LWIR thermal core
A compact uncooled LWIR thermal imaging module for UAVs, perimeter security, robotics and industrial monitoring. 25 g, 24 × 24 × 20.5 mm (with lens), ≤ 40 mK NETD. Designed for OEM integration.
NDAA Section 889 prohibits U.S. federal agencies and their contractors from using telecommunications and surveillance equipment from specified Chinese vendors (e.g. Hikvision, Dahua, Huawei). An NDAA-compliant thermal camera like the HULK 640 contains no components from those vendors and is therefore eligible for U.S. and most allied defence procurement programmes.
Cooled cameras use a cryogenic cooler to detect very small temperature differences at long ranges, but they are large, expensive, and have limited service life. Uncooled microbolometer cameras like the HULK 640 are compact, lightweight, low power and maintenance-free. Ideal for drones, robotics, perimeter and industrial applications.
Yes. HULK provides standard digital video output (BT.656, UVC, CMOS) and UART/I²C control, making it straightforward to integrate with PX4, ArduPilot and proprietary autopilots. Our EU engineering team can deliver custom firmware for specific platforms.
No. The HULK 640 is fully ITAR-free. It is engineered and manufactured entirely in the European Union, so exports are governed by EU dual-use regulations only. No U.S. State Department licensing required.
The HULK 640 falls under EU dual-use Regulation 2021/821, category 6A003 (thermal imaging cameras). We support customers with the relevant export documentation and end-user statements.
Yes. We work with EU defence primes, drone manufacturers, robotics integrators and industrial OEMs. Custom optics, housings, calibration profiles and AI models are available on request.
All service, repair and recalibration happens at our Poznań (Poland) service centre. Standard turnaround is two weeks within the EU.
