Tactical Electronics’ products incorporate cutting-edge technology for tactical operators and the EOD community. They continuously introduce new innovations to meet the evolving needs of these professionals, with the integration of Thermal Fusion Technology in their advanced camera systems being one of these significant advancements.
Thermal Fusion technology combines images from an HD video sensor and a thermal imager into a single blended view. It not only displays thermal heat signatures but also enhances the image by outlining objects and people, providing clearer definitions and improved situational awareness. This is very useful for law enforcement, military operations, search and rescue, and surveillance to detect potential threats, navigate in low-visibility conditions, and conduct reconnaissance. Thermal Fusion Technology is currently available with the CORE Pole Camera, CORE Flex Camera, and SWIFT Flex Camera.
Standard thermal image
Thermal Fusion Technology
Standard thermal imagery lacks the clarity needed to identify specific features of a heat source. However, Thermal Fusion Technology provides a clearer view, allowing you to identify the physical characteristics of the heat source and its surrounding area by overlaying outlines on the thermal image. Obstacles and hiding spots in a room, which often blend in at room temperature with standard thermal imaging, become more visible with Thermal Fusion Technology. This enhanced capability outlines corners and angles, making objects and hiding places easily recognizable, giving tactical teams a significant advantage.
Also in warm environments where objects are similar in temperature to human bodies, Thermal Fusion Technology helps you to distinguish between suspects, threats, and room layouts better by clearly outlining them.

Thermal Fusion Technology
A High-Definition 1280x720p monochrome CMOS sensor with exceptional low-light sensitivity is paired with a FLIR longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal imager. The HD camera’s video is merged with thermal imagery to create a blended image that provides greater physical detail than a standalone thermal imager. With Thermal Fusion Technology, objects, and people are clearly defined with color and outlined for enhanced visibility.

CORE Pole Camera
The telescoping POLE Grip camera comes in a variety of sizes to suit your needs: 8ft extended, 10ft extended, 17ft extended, and a Hinged 17ft extended model. This innovative HD pole camera combines exceptional low-light sensitivity with cutting-edge thermal fusion technology, ensuring unparalleled detail and clarity in every shot.
Videos are seamlessly streamed wirelessly to the CORE monitor through a highly secure AES encrypted channel. For added flexibility, an optional hardwired cable connection is also available. The POLE Grip allows direct control and remote adjustment of high-intensity visible and infrared (IR) illumination, offering optimal visibility in any environment.
This setup not only enhances operational efficiency but also ensures that users can capture and monitor footage with precision and reliability.
CORE Flex Camera
The CORE Flex Camera features a flexible 10 or 18-inch articulating neck, allowing precise positioning for capturing high-definition, digitally encrypted video. Equipped with a 1.0-inch eyepiece, it provides a clear, high-definition display of the captured footage. The camera’s advanced design combines exceptional low-light sensitivity with thermal fusion technology, delivering unmatched detail and image quality.
Captured videos are wirelessly transmitted to the CORE monitor via a secure AES encrypted channel, ensuring reliable and private video streaming. This innovative camera is ideal for environments where flexibility, precision, and superior image quality are essential.
SWIFT Flex Camera
The SWIFT Flex Camera is a handheld inspection tool that features a flex-and-stay neck and has three camera head options.
- Visible SWIFT Flex (12mm): Color CMOS sensor with integrated LED illumination and excellent low-light sensitivity.
- Thermal SWIFT Flex (17mm): Features a Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) FLIR thermal imager.
- Dual SWIFT Flex (25mm): Combines a color CMOS sensor with a FLIR thermal imager.
The captured video can be viewed through the built-in 1-inch eyepiece, but can also be streamed wirelessly via the internal WiFi radio, or connected through the Tactical Accessory Port (TAP). Video feeds are compatible with any TE Monitor, Android device, TE View App, or ATAK.
