Teledyne FLIR Defense Delivers 3,000th Ranger® Series Radar

Award-winning radars designed and built in Laval, Quebec have been deployed to more than 40 countries for countless surveillance and security applications

LAVAL, Quebec--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), announced that it has built and shipped its 3,000^th Ranger^® surveillance radar system from its engineering, service, and production site in Laval, Quebec.

Widely deployed for border security, defense operations, and counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) applications around the world, the Ranger series of advanced radar systems has been shipped to more than 40 countries to strengthen force protection and increase stand-off range for securing borders, airports, seaports, and critical infrastructure.

Fully designed and built in Teledyne FLIR Defense’s facility outside of Montreal and operating from either fixed or mobile sites, Ranger radars feature some of the fastest scan rates available on the market, simultaneously tracking hundreds of targets moving in any direction at virtually any speed.

“Celebrating the 3,000^th Ranger radar manufactured and deployed from Laval is a landmark moment reflecting both the talent and tenacity of our team,” said Pierre Poitevin, Vice President of Radar Systems. “This milestone is a testament to our skilled engineers and Canada’s significant contributions to the global defense industry.

“As threats become more sophisticated and difficult to detect, we’re proud to provide reliable radar solutions that push the boundaries of what our customers can achieve while surveilling the land, sea and air,” Poitevin added.

Since starting radar manufacturing at the site in 2005, the Laval team has consistently introduced new features and capabilities to enhance customer success. These efforts were recognized by Engineers Canada with a National Engineering Product Award for the Ranger R20SS, an honor reserved for the country’s most innovative engineering achievements.

This work continues with ongoing enhancements and expansions to the Ranger series, including this year’s software upgrade announcement that brought 360-degree Fast Scan capabilities featuring higher refresh rates, earlier threat warnings, and improved tracking accuracy. The upgrade also includes greater elevation coverage and AI-enabled radar processing with market-leading target classification, essential to real-time data analysis and decision-making.

The Ranger series of radars are available in multiple configurations, form factors, detection ranges, and scan rates to accommodate a variety of mission sets. Visit us online to learn more about Teledyne FLIR Defense’s full range of radar solutions.
