Teledyne FLIR Defense
Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, received two five-year requirements contracts worth up to $47 million in total to provide and support nearly its entire range of ground robots to the United States government. The contracts were awarded by the U.S. Army Contracting Command in Detroit and will be administered by the Robot Logistics Support Center.
The first contract, valued at up to $32 million, will support sustainment of the Man-Transportable Robotic System (MTRS) and Common Robotic Systems-Heavy (CRS-H) fielded robots. This contract is available to all Department of Defense units and includes spares and repair services. The second contract, valued at up to $15 million, will support sustainment of the FLIR Defense FirstLook 110, SUGV 310, PackBot, and Kobra 725 ground robots. This contract is available to all U.S. government agencies and includes the purchase of all robotic systems listed as well as training to fulfill foreign military sales and customer requirements for robots, training or parts.
The two contracts span nearly the full portfolio of FLIR Defense’s unmanned ground systems – from the six-pound throwable FirstLook to the man-portable PackBot, relied on by America’s military for bomb disposal since 2001, up to the 525 lb Kobra/CRS-H robot used for remote CBRN detection, larger ordnance disposal, and other heavy-duty tasks.
