US Army FLIR purchase

FLIR Systems of Wilsonville, Ore. had been awarded a $49,476,870 firm-fixed price contract for their FLIR STAR SAFIRE III sensors. Work is expected to be completed by Oct. 31, 2008.

The Star Safire III has long range sensor optics for day/night surveillance, and precise gyro-stabilization to counter the motion effects on tall towers. It is currently in use with the Army Rapid Assessment and Initial Detection (RAID) program.
