Sierra-Olympia Technologies

Sierra-Olympia is an industry-leading developer and integrator of infrared imaging solutions for the defense and security industries. Our high-performance thermal camera modules are designed for optimal SWaP (size, weight and power) efficiency and are ideal for a wide range of aerial, ground and marine platforms.

Our cutting-edge product portfolio includes LWIR, MWIR and SWIR options, and equips warfighters and mission-critical systems with the ability to see in complete darkness or through smoke, fog and haze. All cameras feature advanced onboard stabilizing software for optimal image clarity under challenging battlefield conditions, as well as a range of powerful built-in video processing functions including scene tracking, target and vehicle tracking, and moving target indication.

Airborne Cameras

Our state-of-the-art infrared camera cores have been integrated into a variety of crewed and uncrewed fixed-wing and rotary aircraft platforms, enhancing situational awareness and delivering reliable and actionable data. With class-leading SWaP profiles, the compact and lightweight systems impact minimally upon flight performance and allow you to get more done in a shorter time.

Advanced onboard stabilization software provides crystal-clear and steady imagery even under high levels of atmospheric turbulence and engine vibration. With a range of powerful features including scene tracking, vehicle tracking, and moving target indication, our thermal imaging solutions are ideal for the most demanding airborne missions.

Long-Range Surveillance

Our MWIR and LWIR infrared camera solutions have been specifically designed for the demands of long-range and long-endurance ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) applications. The cutting-edge technology enables you to detect, recognize and identify threats with unprecedented levels of accuracy, ensuring reliable performance under a range of weather and lighting conditions.

The lightweight camera cores can be integrated into a variety of aerial, ground and marine vehicles, and can also be easily installed on fixed mounts or pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) units for 360-degree coverage. This versatility makes them ideal for on-the-move situational awareness as well as protection of fixed sites such as military bases, airports, harbors, and critical infrastructure.
