Executive Summary

This full reverse costing study has been conducted to provide insight on technology data, manufacturing cost and selling price of theinfrared camera Boson 320x256 supplied by Flir (website).

We estimate that the Boson is manufactured for a volume of 10,000 units per year. So, the production cost and the selling price arecalculated for 10,000 units in 2017.

The total materials and manufacturing costs calculated in this report reflect only the costs for direct materials, manufacturing andbasic tests. Not included in this analysis are the costs of intellectual property, royalties and licensing fees, software loading and test,shipping, logistics marketing.

The Boson includes the new ISC1406L microbolometer which is a microbolometer from Flir, featuring a 320x256 pixels resolution withpixel size of 12µm. The sensor technology in the ISC1406L sensor is an uncooled Vanadium Oxide microbolometer.

The Boson camera core is also distinguished by the arrival of a powerful VPU to boost the signal processing and facilitated the integration of the camera core in the final system. Flir goes up in the value chain.

Moreover, Flir opted for a new lens material to replace the expensive Germanium.

The Boson is the new generation infrared camera core developed for a wide range of applications:• Handheld thermal-imaging systems for first responders, military/paramilitary, and thermography• Security & surveillance systems• UAV & robotic vision • Navigation• Obstacle Avoidance• Automotive driver’s vision enhancement

Note: The Reverse Costing analysis of the Microbolometer Sensor (including physical analysis, process flow, manufacturing cost andselling price) is performed in a separate report.

Executive Summary

This full reverse costing study has been conducted to provide insight on technology data, manufacturing costand selling price of the Flir ISC1406L Microbolometer.

The thermal camera uses an efficient core, featuring a 320x256 pixels resolution with a pixel size of 12µm. The

sensor technology in the ISC1406L core is an uncooled VOx microbolometer with a strong integration at the

core level with wafer-level packaging (WLP). The ISC1406L microbolometer is integrated in the IR cameras from

Flir (Boson, ..).

Based on complete teardown analyses of the FLIR ISC1406L, the reports provide the bill-of-material (BOM) and

the manufacturing cost of the infrared camera as well as a complete physical analysis and manufacturing cost

estimation of the infrared module.

The report also includes a comparison with Flir ISC1403L and Ulis PICO384P infrared sensors.
