Eurosatory 2014: FLIR Systems Introduces Three New Thermal Imaging Products

FLIR Systems presents three innovative infrared imaging systems in hall 6, stand K11: The handheld RECON V, the HISS-XLR long range thermal weapon sight, and the TacFLIR 280-HD for mobile surveillance platforms. FLIR continues to provide a superior worldwide support network to maintain proven class-leading performance and combat-proven reliability.



The latest member of the field-proven RECON family, the RECON V is a compact, rugged, ultra light-weight multi-sensor thermal binocular designed for field operations that require enhanced imagery and long standoff range, 24/7. With internal GPS, Digital Magnetic Compass, and long-range laser rangefinder, the RECON V provides accurate range to target and target geo-location. The 10x continuous zoom optic, MEMS-based electronic stabilization, and high definition color video display combine to provide unmatched image quality and flexibility, while operating on readily-available AA Lithium batteries. Its new, simple user interface eliminates multiple buttons and complicated multi-layer menus and makes the RECON V easier to use than ever.


The new HISS-XLR clip-on thermal weapon sight allows snipers to detect and recognise man-size targets in excess of 2,000m, an increase in engagement range of more than 25% compared to previous models. Fully tested on weapons up to and including .50 caliber, the HISS-XLR includes a built-in ballistics mode that can give an instantaneous target solution when integrated with laser rangefinder and ballistics computer. The HISS-XLR includes an integrated DMC for azimuth information, can be remotely operated with the stock-mountable control pendant, and its high definition display provides cleaner text and symbology while allowing the use of day scopes of up to 25x without image distortion.


Built from nearly two decades of maritime combat experience and designed to survive and thrive in extreme environments, the TacFLIR 280-HD is the first compact multi-sensor imaging system to deliver high definition digital imagery from all of its imaging sensors in a compact, mobile ground surveillance package. With up to four high definition imaging payloads – including midwave thermal, daylight, low light, and a long-range spotter scope option – plus three laser payloads for rangefinding, illumination, and target pointing, the TacFLIR 280-HD provides the powerful performance and unmatched SWAP needed for tactical defense and security missions.

FLIR Systems is a world leader in the design, manufacture, and marketing of sensor systems that enhance perception and awareness. FLIR's advanced thermal imaging and threat detection systems are used for a wide variety of imaging, thermography, and security applications, including airborne and ground-based surveillance, condition monitoring, research and development, manufacturing process control, search and rescue, drug interdiction, navigation, transportation safety, border and maritime patrol, environmental monitoring, and chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) detection.
