The French drone maker, Parrot launches the ANAFI Thermal, a light-weight and very compact drone with an integrated FLIR thermal camera aimed at professional drone pilots. This new drone is launched as an all in one package, which includes the drone, the thermal sensor, and the software. The ANAFI Thermal, three batteries, and a shoulder bag will retail for $1,900 USD and will be available at authorized retailers starting next month. The ANAFI Thermal competes head-on with the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual as it offers the same resolution (160 x 120) FLIR thermal sensor but at a lower price ($1,900 instead of $2,699 for the Enterprise Dual).

Today these photos surfaced on Facebook. It is what seems to be a custom-made DJI Mavic 2 Zoom with a FLIR Boson thermal camera attached to it. One of the cameras apparently is the Boson 320 6,3 mm combined with the original optical zoom camera, according to the post on social media. For details and pricing, see here.
FLIR Systems launches three cooled Neutrino family thermal camera cores. Next generation Neutrino cores to enable measurement, sensing, surveillance, security, and drone Applications.
FLIR Systems, Inc.

It seems that today’s announcement of what we assume is a new thermal camera for the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise might be delayed. We have reached out to DJI for an official statement, but have not heard back as of yet. I hope this is not the beginning of a new trend. I’m sure you remember, the delay of the release of the DJI Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom last summer. As soon as we hear back from DJI, we will update you here on DroneDJ.
FLIR Systems, the world’s leader in thermal imaging, announced the DroneSense–FLIR Edition, a drone flight management software platform designed for public safety applications. This new offering will be a vital tool in various incident response scenarios, as DroneSense–FLIR Edition is the only software platform to combine thermal and visual imaging processing with flight data planning and management capabilities across public safety organizations.
FLIR Systems just completed their strategic investment in DroneSense. We already know the FLIR thermal cameras from their partnership with Parrot, and now also DJI. DroneSense is a platform that allows first responders to plan and manage their drones missions. Sometimes the drones on these missions can capture sensitive information, DroneSense is compliant with FedRAMP, FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) and the DoD Security Requirements Guide (SRG) to keep the information safe. FLIR thermal cameras are often used in combination with drones by first responders so this investment by FLIR seems to make a lot of sense.
DJI Enterprise will make an announcement at 11:15 am PST and we will cover the event live here on DroneDJ.
