FLIR wins US customs contract
FLIR Systems has been awarded a production order for its Mobile Surveillance Capabilities (MSC) systems for the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency, the company announced on 7 July.
The $19.5 million order is the second option for additional MSC units under a five-year contract between the company and CBP.
The MSC system is a mobile surveillance and detection vehicle that can operate in rugged areas in day and night on the southern border of the US. It features a TacFLIR 380HD long-range stabilised multi-sensor system as well as a long-range radar on a vehicle-mounted surveillance tower.
The additional MSC systems will be delivered in the next 12 months.
Andy Teich, president and CEO, FLIR Systems, said: 'We are pleased to provide these additional MSC integrated surveillance systems to the US Department of Homeland Security. Our ability to integrate advanced imaging and sensing systems has provided our customers with proven, reliable, and robust solutions for protecting borders and providing long-range situational awareness. We look forward to continuing our successful deployment of these systems with the US CBP in this important mission.'
