Third award this year for technology integration on armored vehicles in Europe

Agreement with WB Group in Poland builds on years of collaboration to improve warfighter mission success and safety

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) announced today that Teledyne FLIR Defense has been awarded a contract worth more than $35 million by WB Electronics S.A. (part of the WB Group) to equip reconnaissance vehicles with TacFLIR® 280-HDEP medium range multi-spectral surveillance systems.

Designed for a wide range of land missions, TacFLIR 280-HDEP delivers best-in-class daylight and thermal imagery, along with powerful video processing and Aided Target Recognition (AiTR) capability. The advanced sensor system has been field-tested in Europe for nearly a decade, proving its effectiveness and reliability in harsh environments.

“The integration of TacFLIR 280-HDEP into the reconnaissance vehicles is a testament to our years-long collaboration with WB Electronics,” said Dr. JihFen Lei, president of Teledyne Defense and Aerospace. “By providing warfighters the clearest picture of the battlefield through superior EO/IR imagery and intelligent tracking, TacFLIR technology will enhance situational awareness for military forces while reducing operator risk.”

The contract win is Teledyne FLIR Defense’s third announcement this year involving an armored vehicle program in Europe. In February, the company reported that its Black Hornet 4 nano-drone would be digitally integrated on Switzerland’s Piranha 8x8 vehicles to stream live video and target data to commanders and crew. In January, FLIR Defense said it would provide long-range thermal imaging sights and radars for Bulgaria’s new Stryker vehicles. In total, the three contracts are valued at more than $85 million.

TacFLIR 280-HDEP is designed and built by Teledyne FLIR Defense in Billerica, Massachusetts.
