WILSONVILLE, Ore., July 19, 2011 — Flir Systems Inc. received a $7,785,143 firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery and indefinite-quantity contract from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Div., of Crane, Ind., for its electro-optic sensor (EOS) systems, failure analysis, repairs, upgrades, field repairs, provision item order spares, maintenance training and data in support of the Naval Shipboard Protection System program.

Work will be performed at the Wilsonville facility and is expected to be completed by July 2016.
