FLIR Systems Inc

Commercial Visions Systems, Maritime

We have a variety of maritime thermal imagers to meet the needs and budgets of a variety of law enforcement and search/rescue units. We have systems starting in the $5,000 range and we have resources in house to help law enforcement agencies request DHS grant funding and we're happy to provide that assistance to any agency interesting in pursuing it.

For the demo, we will plan to bring our Navigator II, Voyager, SeaFLIR, and FlashSight products (see attached data sheets). Please read the 1st attachment titled "AppNote_MaritimeLawEnforcement" as it really highlights the practical applications of thermal imaging systems for your line of work. On Sept 4th, we will show you first hand the incredible benefit that our products can provide for maritime LE and search/rescue - particularly in man overboard situations.

1900 Hrs. Sign in, credentials check, refreshments
