Only tangently related(they are both thermal cameras). but it does get into why the frame rate sucks on thermal cameras. it is by marco reps who is pretty legit .
There is another reason why (especially cheap/"normal") thermal cameras have low frame rates. Basically higher (than 9!) fps cameras can be restricted for export and travel under ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations).
Enterprise advanced != enterprise. I'm quite sure it's higher than 160x120. This toy costs about 5k USD.
But yeah it must be that it is a non US company. Puts into question the utility of this ban. These mavics (all models, and not only mavics) fly in huge quantities over the front line in Ukraine.
I know we are not supposed to complain about form but geez are those carousels terrible. They move by themselves, their height changes so you end up clicking the image instead of the arrows, etc.

Cooled MCT detector and much higher requirements on readout electronics to reach 9k FPS.

Edit: also according to the specs it’s 160x120@9fps

640x480 isn’t native sensor size.

The sensors out there are all targeted at automative OEMs, and the brands/models offering the feature are pretty sparse.
Would happily spend up to $1000 or so to rig up a camera & small display for night driving in rural area with a lot of deer..
Range and response time would be the challenge. This $2K thermal driving camera has a 3000 ft range, https://speedir.com/nightowlplus-thermal-driving-car-camera
Really couldn't find anything out there from independent reviews / YouTube that inspired any confidence.
If it would work, $2k is doable.
