FLIR books surveillance systems contract
FLIR Systems has received an order worth $74.7 million to deliver TacFLIR surveillance cameras in support of the US Army's EO/IR-Force Protection (FP) programme, the company announced on 2 October.
Deliveries will begin in 2017 and be complete within one year.
The EO/IR-FP programme provides enhanced perimeter security and force protection for US troops stationed worldwide, such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
FLIR Systems has previously delivered FLIR Ranger radars for the same programme.
Jim Cannon, CEO and president of FLIR, said: ‘This programme highlights our ability to rapidly deploy our technology for critical missions and underscores FLIR's commercially developed, military qualified approach.’
