Xenics has announced that it has been granted Commodity Jurisdiction (CJ) approval for many of their ITAR-restricted infrared cameras, including its range of shortwave infrared (SWIR) cameras, which are now International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) free in the United States.

One such camera is the recently-released Bobcat-320 SWIR camera, which camera features a 320 x 256 InGaAs infrared array with a 20 µm pixel size, is sensitive in the SWIR range from 900 to 1700 nm, and is available in three different configurations: a basic 100 Hz version, an advanced 400 Hz version and a 400 Hz version for gated imaging. The camera also features TE cooling, C-Mount lens mount, and is available in GigE and Camera Link configurations.

For Xenics, the announcement means broadening their position in the North American market. Now, according to the company, Xenics will be able to support educational and research institutes throughout the entire country without limitations by the ITAR restrictions

"This is important news for all public organizations who want to benefit from SWIR technology,” said Hervé Copin, CEO of Xenics USA, Inc. “The Commodity Jurisdiction approval grants accessibility to both US citizens and foreign researchers and engineers that are working with ITAR restricted cameras. Offering a full range of ITAR-free SWIR cameras will open a lot of new opportunities for Xenics."
