FLIR Systems awarded contracts totaling $38 million

FLIR Systems, Inc., announced on Monday that it has been awarded new contracts totaling $38 million for FLIR man-portable multispectral targeting systems and integrated mobile long-range multispectral imaging and command and control systems.

The buyer is an international military customer, but details beyond that were not immediately made available.

“These contract awards further demonstrate the strategic benefits of FLIR’s commercially developed, military qualified (CDMQ) model that allows us to innovate and deploy advanced, cost-effective products in support of global military and border control operations,” Andy Teich, president and chief executive officer at FLIR, said. “These contracts also underscore FLIR’s ability to rapidly address urgent and emerging needs for state of the art intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting equipment to our global base of customers.”

The systems will be used to combat terrorism, secure strategic military assets and protect borders against incursions and other threats. Work under the contracts will be done out of a variety of FLIR facilities and is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2017.

FLIR Systems specializes in the design, manufacture and marketing of sensor systems that enhance perception and awareness. FLIR’s products are used for a wide range of imaging, thermography and security applications.
