Teledyne FLIR Defense has been awarded a US$74.2 million Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to supply 125 Electro-Optic Sensor System-Modernized (ESS-M) systems for use on USCG Helicopters.
The systems are for the USCG’s Sikorsky MH-60 and Eurocopter MH-65 helicopters. The ESS-M platform features a full-HD sensor suite and updated user interfaces, as well as processing capabilities and software enhancements to support future growth.
The ESS-M system provides high-definition daylight, low light, and infrared imagery and will be used in support of USCG missions such as coastal security, search and rescue, and drug and migrant interdiction.

The pair will submit their demonstrator concept for Project Nyx, a development project for the British Army’s Land Autonomous Collaborative Platform.
The Picatinny Common Lethality Integration Kit is designed to overcome the issue of unique integration methods between lethal payloads and drones as well as avoiding problematic acquisition conditions created by vendor lock.
The investment includes new contracts for six MQ-28A Ghost Bat aircraft, as well as provisional funds to invest in the development of a Block 3 prototype.
Italy could field the JASSM-ER for its combat aircraft including the F-35, while Denmark has been approved for AMRAAM and an Integrated Battle Command system procurement.
The newly unveiled collaborative combat aircraft looks to strike a balance between capability and cost-effectiveness, according to the company.
Following the completion of successful ground tests, one more exercise remains before flight testing can begin.
