PORTLAND, OR, Jun 21, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) today announced it has been
awarded a contract from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
for Ranger III™ multi-sensor systems valued at $6.0 million. The
systems will be installed along the southern U.S. border as upgrades
to older thermal imaging systems. This order represents the largest
single order from CBP that FLIR has won to date. Systems will be
manufactured in FLIR's facility in Billerica, MA, and deliveries will
take place in the third quarter of 2007.
"The CBP has been an excellent customer of FLIR for many years, and
we are pleased to be chosen again to provide critical systems for
border security," said Earl Lewis, FLIR's President and CEO. "CBP
requires rapid delivery of these systems, which plays to one of our
core strengths. We believe this order, combined with orders last
year for our Recon III™ LocatIR systems reflects a continued
strong relationship with CBP, and positions us well for future
business."
