Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies , announced that it has been awarded a $13.3M contract by the U.S. Department of Defense to further expand the capabilities of its R80D SkyRaider unmanned aerial system to autonomously perform chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear, CBRN, reconnaissance missions. Teledyne FLIR Defense will integrate flight control software that enables the SkyRaider Unmanned Aerial System UAS to autonomously fly CBRN missions currently performed by soldiers hand-carrying detection sensors into hazardous areas. Blending the new technology with SkyRaider’s existing capabilities will allow soldiers to complete these missions without directly controlling the drone – and without exposing themselves to toxic substances… Initial deliveries are scheduled for fall 2023. The contract period of performance is 33 months, if all options are exercised. Visit us online to learn more about Teledyne FLIR’s multi-faceted Detection solutions.
