For instance, in March 2023, Trillium Engineering unveiled the HD80-AIM, a cutting-edge camera system that uses artificial intelligence to enhance its performance. This innovative device combines two main full-motion video cameras: a 640x512 cooled MWIR camera with a 10x optical zoom lens and a 1080p visible camera with a 36x optical zoom. The HD80-AIM's powerful setup allows for detailed vessel inspection and identification from a safe, undetectable distance. By utilizing three image bands—visible, Near-IR, and Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) the system can effectively conduct searches in both daylight and nighttime conditions, making it a versatile tool for various applications.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones are becoming more popular in both military and business settings. These flying machines now come with high-tech cameras that can do all sorts of jobs, like looking over areas, exploring new places, making maps, and checking on buildings. In the military, drones help gather information and track targets, while businesses use them to keep an eye on important structures. As more UAVs take to the skies, there's a growing need for cameras that are both light and powerful. This trend is giving a big boost to the aircraft cameras industry, with makers working hard to create camera systems that fit easily into these flying machines while still taking great pictures and videos.
