Furthermore, Teledyne FLIR recently won two contracts from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to deliver BRITE Star II multi-sensory imaging systems.

The total value of both contracts stands at $16.2m.

The systems have been selected for the US Navy/Marine Corps H-1 programme, which seeks to increase the readiness of the helicopter fleet for operations.

Star SAFIRE and BRITE Star family of systems provide superior image stabilisation and ultra-long-range performance, as well as internal navigation for accurate targeting.

In July last year, Teledyne Brown Engineering secured a contract from the US Navy for the littoral battlespace sensing-glider (LBS-G) programme.
