FLIR Systems has been awarded two indefinite delivery - indefinite quantity contracts from the US Coast Guard with a combined value of up to $87.3m.

The first contract, valued at up to $49.9m over five years, is for the US Coast Guard's Shipboard Infrared Visual Sensor System (SIRVSS). The second contract, valued at up to $37.4m over ten years, is for the Coast Guard's Electro Optical Sensor System (ESS).

The units delivered under the SIRVSS contract will be installed aboard existing Coast Guard cutters, with each system being fully integrated into the ship's Command and Control system. The ESS systems will be installed on HH-60 and HH-65 helicopters to enhance the Coast Guard's airborne use of force, interdiction and search and rescue missions.

Deliveries on SIRVSS have begun, and ESS deliveries will begin in the second quarter of 2007. Anticipated deliveries under these two contracts in 2007 total approximately $8m.
