  • FLIR Wins Awards Worth Up to $23M from US Customs and Border Protection for Improved Ground and Air Surveillance Capabilities

    FLIR Systems, Inc. announced it has received awards from the United States (U.S.) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to deliver improved air and ground surveillance capabilities using advanced thermal imaging and drone technology. All awards are potentially worth more than $23 million, including for delivery of the next-generation FLIR LVSS™ (Lightweight Vehicle Surveillance System) for CBP’s Mobile Surveillance Capability (MSC) program and delivery of FLIR SkyRaider™ drone tether kits, FLIR StormCaster™-T sensor payloads, and other technology for CBP’s Low Altitude Autonomous Safety and Situational Awareness for Officers (LASO) program. The LASO contract has a base value of $545,000 and was awarded from a competitive General Solicitation under authority of the Department of Homeland Security’s Commercial Solutions Opening Pilot Program.

  • Resolving Border Security Threats with Integrated Solutions

    Elusive, well-equipped border security threats can push traditional patrols to the brink. When detection range directly affects response time, reliably spotting and determining the intentions of approaching individuals, vehicles, and UAS must occur faster than ever. FLIR integrated border solutions package the best surveillance technology into dynamic, scalable platforms to help operators make faster, more confident interdiction decisions.

  • Bullet vs. PTZ vs. Dome: Which Security Camera Is Right for You?

    Designing a video security system and trying to choose between a bullet, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ), or dome camera option? We’ve got you covered. Each has a different monitoring purpose and distinguishable housing. Here are the defining characteristics and benefits to help you make the right decision. 

  • The Power of an Integrated System: The Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Sensor Suite Upgrade

    Globally, the use of CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) weapons is becoming more frequent and increasingly more lethal. When confronting this threat, soldiers rely on advanced technology to detect the hazard and save lives. This is where the U.S. Army’s Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV) comes in—the specialized vehicle is equipped with a system to detect chemical, radiological, and biological contamination in its immediate environment and automatically warn soldiers of the risk.

  • FLIR Systems Wins $8.0M Research and Development Contract for Next-Generation Chemical Detection Technology

    FLIR Systems, Inc. announced it has won a contract worth up to $8.0 million from the United States Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Joint Science and Technology Office (DTRA JSTO) to rapidly develop next-generation chemical detection solutions based on ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and mass spectrometry (MS) technology.

  • See A Life, Save A Life: World Wildlife Day 2021

    World Wildlife Day, March 3, 2021: A global observance to promote sustaining prized natural habitats and critical ecosystems for wildlife on our planet. FLIR technology and solutions play a vital role in a variety of conservation applications that support sustaining flora, resolving human / wildlife conflict, promoting community outreach, and aiding anti-poaching efforts. For World Wildlife Day 2021, we share ongoing conservation initiatives ranging from black rhino anti-poaching support in Kenya, to protecting wildlife water sources in Zambia, to monitoring endangered California condor egg fertilization in the United States.

  • FLIR to Provide Thermal Imaging Cameras for Zoox Robotaxi

    This week, Zoox revealed the first look of its driving, electric, autonomous vehicle built for the rider, not the driver. Today, we’re happy to confirm that FLIR Systems will supply Zoox with thermal imaging cameras, and we wanted to share more details on our involvement with Zoox and why this is such an important milestone for autonomous vehicles.

  • Optimizing Japanese Agricultural Practices with the FLIR AX8

    Japan’s agriculture is faced with many serious problems, including the aging of workers, a lack of successors, and trade liberalization under the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). A research group is working on the optimization and automation of agriculture to solve these problems using the FLIR AX8 thermal imaging camera to collect temperature images of crops during the cultivation process. By visualizing the surface temperatures of crops on a time series, a technology not available in the past, their data can improve agricultural optimization and automation.

  • Safe, Low-Cost Diagnosis of Concrete Structures with High-Definition Thermal Imaging

    With the aging of social infrastructure systems becoming an urgent issue, the Japanese company West Nippon Expressway Engineering Shikoku Company Limited has developed a technology called “IrBAS” using FLIR A6701sc thermal imaging cameras. Currently, the team—including Mr. Matsuda, Mr. Hashimoto, and Mr. Hayashi—is using the IrBAS as an aging countermeasure for maintaining concrete structures.

  • Thermal By FLIR Partner Foresight Fuses Stereo Thermal and Visible Imaging

    QuadSight, a multi-spectral vision solution from Foresight, is an innovator in automotive vision systems. The QuadSight imaging system essentially combines data from two FLIR Boson thermal imaging cameras and two RGB cameras, hence quad, developed with a ground-breaking stereo imaging method by merging the strengths of each vision system technology. All four cameras are synced and run at 30 frames per second, featuring a unique, patent-pending technology that calibrates all cameras to a common coordinate axis, thus providing accurate pixel fusion between images received from the RGB and thermal cameras.

  • “Eyes in the Sky” Find Missing Man in Waterloo, Canada

    When a 38-year-old man went missing in Waterloo, Canada, on November 19, local law enforcement turned to an airborne solution by FLIR—a remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) with a thermal imaging camera—to search the area and found the man safe later the same day.

  • FLIR Star SAFIRE 380-HDc Footage of Finding a Missing Person

    The Michigan State Police recently used an airborne FLIR camera to find a missing elderly person.
