Advancements in Automatic Threat Identification Systems Driving Market Trends
Key players in the cooled infrared module sector are focusing on developing sophisticated Automatic Threat Identification (ATI) systems. These systems are designed to improve detection accuracy, enhance situational awareness, and reduce operator fatigue by automatically identifying and classifying potential threats in real-time. For example, in March 2025, Lynred, a French company specializing in infrared detectors and imaging, introduced two ATI modules named TI EOLE and ATI GALATEA SL. These modules cater especially to airborne platforms, featuring high-resolution sensors and advanced algorithms capable of long-distance detection and automatic classification of various aircraft, including stealth and low-flying objects. They deliver real-time alerts and image processing that streamline threat evaluation with minimal pilot intervention. Furthermore, these modules utilize low-power electronics and optimized cryogenic cooling technology, which extend their operational lifespan and lower overall lifecycle costs for defense and security users.
