WILSONVILLE, Ore. Infrared-camera design and manufacturing firm FLIR Systems has won a $74.7 million firm-fixed-price order from the U.S. Army to deliver TacFLIR surveillance cameras in support of the Army's EO/IR-Force Protection (FP) program. The Army will purchase the systems through Army Contracting Command, Redstone.
Under the terms of the single-year contract, the cameras -- optimized for vehicle mounting -- will be delivered to provide enhanced perimeter security and force protection for U.S. troops stationed around the world, including those currently in Iraq and Afghanistan.
FLIR will manufacture the systems in Wilsonville, Oregon, with deliveries beginning later in 2017.
