The all-new 15-300 mm f/4 MWIR zoom engineered for 10 µm SXGA detectors
The Ophir® SupIR-X 15-300 mm f/4 motorized continuous zoom lens is purpose-built to fully leverage the performance of 10 µm SXGA MWIR detectors for demanding long-range ISR and surveillance missions.
Combining a 45° to 2.4° horizontal field of view, high-resolution imaging, and a compact ~1 kg design, SupIR-X delivers the clarity, stability, and reach required for advanced airborne, land, and maritime EO/IR systems.
When greater range is needed, SupIR-X integrates seamlessly with the Ophir extender ecosystem, scaling up to 1200 mm focal length while maintaining a constant f/4 aperture, enabling vehicle target detection beyond 26 km under standard operational conditions.
