FLIR Systems to provide multi-sensor systems for U.S. border surveillance

PORTLAND, Ore., 23 June 2007. FLIR Systems Inc. in Portland, Ore., won a $6 million contract from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency of the Department of Homeland Security for Ranger III multi-sensor systems for use along the southern U.S. border as upgrades to relatively old thermal imaging systems.

The Ranger multi-sensor system integrates a long-range midwave imaging system with a powerful daylight sensor, global positioning system, mapping software, and optional laser rangefinder.

The Ranger imagers can track vehicles from as far away as 12 miles through smoke, dust, and most obscurants, and allows for a programmable search pattern to reduce operator workload.

Systems will be manufactured in FLIR's facility in Billerica, Mass., and deliveries will be this fall. For more information contact FLIR online at www.flir.com.
