For the 2012 season BBG Sport introduced a new generation of HOT Spot using the very high performance SLX-Hawk thermal imaging cameras provided by UK based Selex ES. These cameras provided sharper images with improved sensitivity and much less motion blur than earlier HOT Spot technologies. As a result, the latest HOT Spot system is able to detect much finer edge nicks than in previous seasons, essentially ending all earlier doubts about the capability of the technology. Following the success of this updated HOT Spot system, BBG Sport and SELEX Galileo (than Selex ES, in turn merged in Finmeccanica since 2016, than called Leonardo S.p.A.) signed an exclusivity agreement for the supply of SLX-Hawk cameras for HOT Spot in cricket and other sports.
