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, Mass., and deliveries will take place in the third quarter of 2007.
"CBP requires rapid delivery of these systems, which plays to one of our core strengths," says Earl Lewis, FLIR's president and CEO. "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."
