Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has been awarded an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to service electro-optical sensor systems used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).
As explained, the company will provide replacement parts and technical support for several land- and sea-based systems used by the US Navy and US Coast Guard (USCG), including the BRITE Star II, the Sea Star SAFIRE III, and the Star SAFIRE 380-HD.
The contract is worth up to $43.9 million, the firm noted.
“We’re proud to provide the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps with … surveillance technology and help them maintain these sensors to detect any threat, anywhere, on land, maritime and airborne platforms,” said JihFen Lei , executive vice president and general manager of Teledyne FLIR Defense.
The Star SAFIRE and BRITE Star family of systems are manufactured in Wilsonville, Oregon and offer users image stabilization, ultra-long-range performance, and internal navigation for precise targeting.
The systems are fully hardened for military fixed-wing and helicopter operations and include an MWIR thermal imager, low-light cameras, and multiple laser payload options.
In addition to the IDIQ award, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) also recently awarded Teledyne FLIR two contracts with a combined value of $16.2 million to procure BRITE Star II multi-sensory imaging systems. Those systems will support the US Navy/Marine Corps H-1 program, the company concluded.
