FLIR gets second DR SKO production order
FLIR Systems has received the second full-rate production order to support the US Department of Defense’s Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Dismounted Reconnaissance Sets, Kits, and Outfits (DR SKO) programme.
The follow-on order, announced by FLIR on 9 April, is for FLIR’s integrated Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) threat response system, along with related spares and services. It covers systems totalling $51.1 million in value.
The order was given by the US Department of Defense under a five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract.
The DR SKO programme is a joint-service initiative centred on CBRNE threat detection systems to be used by the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Civil Support Teams. FLIR’s DR SKO system provides an integrated set of CBRNE detection, identification, sample collection, testing, and personal safety kits.
The order is expected to be delivered from September 2015 to April 2016.
