  • Teledyne FLIR Participates in Interpol Drone Countermeasure Exercise

    Today, perimeter security threats do not only include intruders who linger in the shadows with wire cutters. Lightweight, unmanned aerial systems (UASs) that can fly straight over perimeter fences carrying any number of payloads, in or out, have changed the game completely. This has created a uniquely challenging environment for commercial and military security personnel alike. That challenge has not, however, gone unmatched. In September 2021, INTERPOL and Norwegian Police carried out a three-day exercise in Oslo to evaluate and test drone countermeasures in a secure airspace environment. Teledyne FLIR devices yielded superior performance in the tests, only further setting them apart as a competitive and reliable Counter UAS (C-UAS) solution provider.

  • La Niña is Coming—How Inspectors Can Find Problem Areas Before the Season Strikes

    If you haven't been paying attention to your local weather station, you may not know that we’re due for a La Niña season.

  • Top Perimeter Security Trends for Critical Infrastructure

    Airports, power plants, and data centers house mission-critical assets essential to everyday life. Without adequate physical security, these operations are at risk of intrusion and sabotage. The shutdown of any one of these critical infrastructure facilities would affect hundreds of thousands of people. Securing these entities from a physical breach starts by protecting the perimeter. While critical infrastructure sites pose their challenges for perimeter intrusion detection systems, new technologies, and solution integrations are addressing these pain points and enabling better detection, deterrence, and real-time response, in the case of a threat. Here are six trending technologies amplifying perimeter security for critical infrastructure.

  • Pro Angler Profile: Captain Alonzo Sotillo

    Everglades fishing guides Sotillo and Thompson up their angling game during precious days off with the power of Axiom Pro. Sotillo operates Tides Right Charters, and regularly opts to forego distractions like football, neighborhood parties and home improvement projects to keep his eye on the prize. “I’ve been a professional guide for four years now,” says the young Raymarine Pro Ambassador. “Days like today are the days I look forward to the most,” he continues, referring to the chance to observe, study and learn from the Everglades and its fish while trading paying customers for the company of a good friend and mentor like Captain Andy Thompson.

  • Pro Angler Profile: Moe Newman

    Captain Relies on Raymarine/FLIR for Getting There, Staying Safe, and Catching Fish Captain Moe Newman grew up fishing the Gulf Coast. From the shores of Pass Christian, Mississippi, to Port Fourchon, Louisiana, she has experienced it all, beginning her guiding career while still in her teens. “I was born and raised fishing out of Mississippi and fishing along the Gulf Coast with my mom and dad, and at about the age of 14 my dad took me under his wing. If I wanted to go fishing, I better be a part of every aspect of it,” says Newman.

  • FirstLook Takes a Shotgun Blast, And Still Gets the Job Done

    We have several different robots. We use the FirstLook quite a bit and find it very useful. We probably use it four out of five times to go into a structure and get images before we start probing around. The FirstLook allows us to identify threats before exposing an officer, deputy or canine team to a dangerous situation. It’s a visual aid.
