Electro-optical sensor system from FLIR Systems to help defend Navy ships from terrorist attacks

摘要

U.S. Navy ship systems designers needed electro-optical sensor systems for the Shipboard Protection System (SPS), which helps protect Navy surface vessels from terrorist attacks while moored to piers, at anchor, or during restricted maneuvering. They found their solution from FLIR Systems in Wilsonville, Ore.rnFLIR will provide the Navy with Star SAFIRE series electro-optical sensor (EOS) systems, containingrnforward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor and laser detection and ranging tracking system under terms of a $27.1 million contract. Awarding the contract is the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division in Crane, Ind.
