High‑performance integration‑ready SXGA MWIR f/4 thermal camera series pairs continuous zoom optics with advanced video processing, consistent thermal performance, and MIL‑STD‑810‑class ruggedization.
April 29, 2026 – Andover, MA – MKS Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of enabling technologies that transform our world, announces at SPIE Defense + Security 2026 the Ophir® KAMU long‑range MWIR f/4 SXGA thermal imaging camera series, a fully integrated solution to accelerate deployment in such applications as surveillance and Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS). Each camera combines MKS’ best‑in‑class continuous‑zoom MWIR f/4 optics with a high‑resolution SXGA cooled detector (1280×1024 pixels, 10 µm), advanced video-processing, and an integration‑ready architecture to accelerate deployment while delivering long‑range, high‑performance imaging. The Ophir KAMU camera series spans focal‑lengths from 300 mm to 1200 mm, supporting such applications as extended long‑range surveillance and extreme stand‑off detection.
The Ophir KAMU long‑range MWIR f/4 SXGA thermal imaging camera series is a fully integrated system that pairs MKS’ continuous zoom optics with advanced video processing, consistent thermal performance, and MIL‑STD‑810‑class ruggedization for use in surveillance and Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS).
Built on MKS’ latest high-resolution continuous‑zoom MWIR f/4 SXGA lens, the Ophir KAMU camera system delivers unmatched clarity, low distortion, and stable line-of-sight (LOS) performance, maintaining a constant f/4 at 0.6° (NFOV) to 47.8° (WFOV). It maintains precise boresight and image focus across the zoom range, enabling earlier threat detection and wider coverage with fewer assets. In the 1200 mm configuration, standard military vehicle target sizes can be detected at ~28 km, while micro drones (20×20 cm) can be identified at ≥1.7 km.
“In long‑range thermal imaging, optics determine outcomes,” said Dr. Kobi Lasri, General Manager, Ophir Optics Products. “The Ophir KAMU MWIR camera places MKS’ continuous‑zoom optics at the center—paired with SXGA resolution and an integration‑ready architecture—to deliver consistent thermal performance, near‑diffraction‑limited imaging, and reliable long‑range discrimination across airborne, maritime, and ground ISR.”
The Ophir KAMU camera system integrates a proven video‑processing pipeline with non‑uniformity correction (NUC), bad‑pixel repair, and advanced enhancements including denoise, and adaptive gain control. Digital outputs include H.264/H.265 over Ethernet, HD‑SDI and HDMI, with optional Camera Link®. Command‑and‑control is provided via Ethernet and RS‑422 interfaces for streamlined integration and operation.
The Ophir KAMU camera system is available in open-frame and MIL-STD-810 qualified configurations. For harsh environments, the camera features an enclosed rear panel with EMI‑protected D38999 connectors and an IP67‑sealed front element. It is nitrogen‑backfilled for fog‑free operation and offers multiple front‑element coating options for extended durability. A constant‑aperture design ensures stable thermal performance across the zoom range, while factory boresight and narcissism calibration improve accuracy and reduce maintenance.
The lens‑centric design approach, built on decades of high‑end optical design and high-volume manufacturing, ensures control over the key performance driver of a thermal camera, the optics. This enables faster integration, reduced engineering risk, and consistent, field‑proven performance for ISR and security OEMs.
Availability
The Ophir MWIR f/4 camera series is available now. OEM pricing is available on request.

NSSF Welcomes ATF Landmark Rulemaking Package
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, was on hand at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to welcome Acting U.S. Attorney General (AG) Todd Blanche’s signing ceremony that released a landmark rulemaking package from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The release of the new rulemaking package is the result of months of NSSF working closely with the ATF and DOJ to identify and fix punitive regulations published during the Biden administration, when the ATF was used as a political weapon to force policies intended to hobble the firearm industry and infringe on Second Amendment rights. The package also addresses several inefficient and burdensome regulations that increased compliance costs for the industry but which did not aid ATF in achieving its primary mission on combatting violent crime.
The signing of the rulemaking package was held less than an hour after Robert Cekada was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in a bipartisan vote to serve as ATF Director. Director Cekada is the first ATF director to be confirmed after being nominated by a Republican president.
“This is what ‘promises made, promises kept’ looks like. President Donald Trump made it clear that his administration would respect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens and would end the unfair targeting of the firearm industry through a special-interest antigun policy agenda,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel, who was on hand for Acting AG Blanche’s signing ceremony. “This is more than turning the page on the weaponization of government against a lawful industry that provides the means for citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights. This is the dawning of a new era. NSSF is tremendously grateful to President Trump, Acting Attorney General Blanche and Director Cekada for their fair application of the law and true respect for Second Amendment rights.”
Acting AG Blanche signed the rulemaking package that included 34 policy changes that will significantly change how the DOJ and ATF protect Second Amendment rights and regulate the firearm industry. Those policy changes are the result of the review of policies directed by President Trump when he published his Protecting Second Amendment Rights Executive Order.
The rulemaking changes are comprised of priorities NSSF has long championed including, recissions of the ATF’s “Engaged in the Business,” bump stock and stabilizing pistol brace final rules, changes to ATF record retentions that have no law enforcement utility, providing a clearer definition of what constitutes a “willful” violation of the Gun Control Act (GCA) and an illegal straw purchase of a firearm and elimination of the requirement to notify the chief law enforcement officer for purchases of items regulated by the National Firearms Act (NFA).
About NSSF
NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

NSSF Applauds U.S. Senate Confirmation of ATF Director Cekada
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, applauds the U.S. Senate for voting to confirm current Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director Robert Cekada to lead the federal agency charged with fighting violent crime, disrupting illegal gun trafficking to prohibited persons and regulating the firearm industry. The Senate confirmed Director Cekada to his role in a bipartisan vote of 59-39. Director Cekada is the first ATF director to be confirmed after being nominated by a Republican president.
“Members of the entire firearm industry — as well as all law-abiding gun owners and Americans concerned about crime and neighborhood safety — celebrate the U.S. Senate for giving confirmation to President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next permanent director of the ATF. Director Robert Cekada has decades of law enforcement experience and will no doubt bring his extensive background and understanding of the firearm industry and support for Second Amendment rights and the rule of law to this critical federal agency,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “Law-abiding gun owners and the entire firearm and ammunition industry deserve a leader of the ATF who will focus on implementing laws passed by Congress, holding those who break the law accountable and always respecting the Constitutional rights of Americans. That’s exactly what we are getting with Director Cekada.”
In February, after then-Deputy Director Cekada sat before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing, NSSF’s Keane sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ranking Member Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) expressing the industry’s “strong and unqualified support” for confirming Deputy Director Cekada to be the Senate-confirmed director of the bureau that regulates the firearm and ammunition industry.
“Mr. Cekada has dedicated his life to serving the American people and advancing public safety,” NSSF’s letter stated. “During his more than three decades in law enforcement, including over 20 years with the ATF, Mr. Cekada has distinguished himself as an effective professional consistently recognized for his leadership capabilities and proven record of enforcing the law… Mr. Cekada, without question, meets all the qualifications we consider necessary to effectively perform the duties and responsibilities of Director of the ATF.”

Akkar USA – Start Right: Shotguns for New Shooters
North Kansas City, MO (April 29, 2026) – For new shooters, confidence starts with picking the right shotgun. Akkar’s beginner-friendly lineups keep things simple. From traditional side-by-sides to dependable pump actions, these models are easy to operate and help build safe habits and sharp skills.
The High Noon side-by-side shotgun blends traditional styling with modern craftsmanship. A single trigger keeps operation simple, while double barrels and different chokes deliver effective patterns at varying distances. When configured for closer and longer shots, this setup increases the odds of success, an important motivator for beginners. As an upland hunting shotgun, the High Noon is comfortable to carry all day and swings into action when the birds flush.
Each High Noon shotgun includes five interchangeable choke tubes for added versatility. Available in gauge-specific frame sizes including 12-, 20-, and 28-gauge, and .410, the High Noon series suits a wide range of shooters from small to large. A proper fit is critical to consistent shooting and a positive first shotgunning experience.
For shooters who want a single shotgun to handle multiple jobs, a pump-action like the Ranch Hand is a practical choice. Its manual action is simple, reliable, and effective for both clay targets and hunting, making it a familiar platform for beginners to learn on and grow with.
Offered in 12-, 20-, and 28-gauge, and .410, the Ranch Hand accommodates a range of shooter preferences and recoil tolerances. Three included choke tubes deliver patterns suited for skeet, trap, or wingshooting.
Where the Ranch Hand is a generalist, the Sharp Spur is a turkey-hunting specialist. It offers new hunters a purpose-built option that simplifies setup and builds confidence in the field. The pump-action shotgun features Mossy Oak Obsession camo, a shorter 24-inch barrel for easier maneuverability, and a Picatinny rail for mounting optics.
Available in 12-, 20-, and 28-gauge, and .410, each model includes five extended choke tubes to fine-tune pattern performance. A built-in beard-measuring ruler adds a practical touch for measuring a trophy in the field.
Akkar USA backs its shotguns with a five-year warranty, providing confidence for both new and experienced shooters. The High Noon, Ranch Hand, and Sharp Spur models offer a dependable starting point for shooters looking to gain shooting experience.

Attendees will engage in discussions and field-based learning centered on sustainable wildlife management and the future of turkey populations nationwide.
