FLIR Systems wins contract for Coastal Infrastructure Security from UAE

FLIR Systems, Inc. announced today that it has teamed with Sonardyne International Ltd on a substantial multi-million dollar project in the United Arab Emirates. The companies, with FLIR as the project leader, will provide a commercial-off-the shelf (COTS), integrated perimeter and coastal protection solution for a key coastal facility. The installed CommandSpace solution will provide multi-dimensional, wide area surveillance above and below the water line for comprehensive perimeter security.

Under the contract, FLIR will provide ground surveillance radars as well as thermal and CCD images. Sonardyne will provide Sentinel IDS intruder detection sonar. As with all FLIR CommandSpace solutions, the entire system will be seamlessly integrated via the FLIR command and control software (C2) platform to display radar, sonar and optical data onto a single common operating picture (COP).
