Founded in 1999, IEC Infrared Systems emerged as a NASA Spinoff company, stemming from the expertise of two microgravity combustion science researchers. These visionary individuals had initially developed methods for measuring high-temperature flames in space flight experiments at the National Center for Space Exploration Research. However, they recognized the potential for terrestrial applications of infrared imaging systems that could enhance the distinction between various heat intensities.One notable application they envisioned was the utilization of these systems by firefighters. Even in conditions where visibility was hindered by darkness or smoke, these infrared imaging systems could enable firefighters to differentiate between the thermal signatures of humans and burning areas.
Throughout the years, NASA Spinoff companies have made significant contributions to our daily lives on Earth. This tradition dates back to the 1970s and has yielded remarkable innovations such as battery-powered tools, CMOS sensors utilized in digital cameras, memory foam, and scratch-resistant glasses, among many others.

Dependable, effective surveillance requires the right sensors and systems for the right application. IEC Infrared Systems understands this and produces a wide range of high-reliability payload configurations and system components to meet virtually any surveillance and imaging requirement. From infrared video camera systems to short-range thermal imagers, IEC can help make your mission a success, each and every time.
Situational Awareness: The ability to understand what is happening around you, and how those things affect your tactical situation. Situational awareness is crucial in tactical military and security situations, when the need to know where unfriendly personnel and vehicles are can be the difference between success and failure, or even life and death.
High-value installations often require permanent, around-the-clock surveillance to provide situational awareness for security responders. These thermal imaging surveillance efforts are required in all weather conditions, and often must interface with other on-site security systems. The demands of fixed-site security require the reliability, accuracy, and precision provided by the visual and thermal imaging system made by IEC Infrared Systems.
