FLIR Systems, Inc. has been awarded a $74.7 million firm-fixed-price order to deliver Tac FLIR surveillance cameras in support of the U.S. Army EO/IR-Force Protection (FP) programme. The U.S. Army will purchase the systems through Army Contracting Command, Redstone. The units delivered under this contract will support the ongoing U.S. Army EO/IR-FP programme, which provides enhanced perimeter security and force protection for U.S. troops stationed around the world, such as Iraq and Afghanistan. As part of the same programme, FLIR was also awarded an $8.8 million contract in the third quarter 2017 to deliver other FLIR Ranger radars.
The contract expands the use of FLIR stabilised surveillance systems for the U.S. Army’s EO/IR-FP programmes. FLIR has delivered over a thousand EO/IR sensors to the U.S. Army as part of this programme to support the safety of U.S. forces and those of U.S. allies, including a variety of systems.
