Teledyne FLIR is the EO/IR reference. CERBERUS XL is a 360° multi-sensor mast (radar + EO/IR + RF + acoustic options); Ranger provides long-range MWIR; Prism C-UAS software pushes detection/track range using thermal ISP + AI to classify drones with <4 pixels on target. Cooled MWIR + continuous-zoom optics span the $50k–$1M C-UAS tier.
