Malaysia selects THV2000s
FLIR Systems (Stand C115) has announced an order from the Malaysian MoD for 12 ThermoVision 2000 (THV2000) long-range thermal imaging sensor systems for a new coastal surveillance network. Selected because of its reliability and excellent range performance, even in smoke and dust environments, the THV2000s are due for delivery shortly. A ‘plug and play’ system, the THV2000 is a cooled thermal imaging system with multi-sensor capabilities, which is compatible with multiple video networking systems. It provides a range of up to 20km and an autofocus option is available to minimise operator fatigue. The company has also received an order for more than 100 units of the Bill Infra-Red Camera (BIRC) clip-on thermal sight from Saab Bofors Dynamics. This provides a night vision capability and makes for quick and easy mounting of the thermal imager on the day sight.

Streamlining spatial information
ESRI (UK) supplied the UK Ministry of Defence with the spatial services oriented architecture used in this year’s Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID), held earlier this month. The company’s team deployed a web-based geospatial information system (GIS), which streamlined spatial information management. The GIS removes the need for shipping GIS information on media, or provides a mechanism for sharing managed information for locations with restricted infrastructure. Since its deployment at last year’s CWID, significant capability enhancements have been incorporated by ESRI (UK), which claims to have the UK’s largest concentration of GIS expertise.

ITT wins jammer and monocular orders
ITT (Stand J180h) has announced two important security-related orders. Under a $27 million contract, awarded by the US Naval Sea Systems Command, an additional 353 CREW 2.1 vehicle received jammers will be provided for deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan. The vehicle-mounted system is designed to prevent the detonation of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The other contract features the company’s PVS-14 night vision monocular that will operate with Pinnacle image intensifier tubes to enable improved operation when switching from low-light to high-light area. The Generation 3 device is to be supplied to first responder agencies across the US.

Knowledge management sale
Elbit Systems (Stand D240a) has been awarded a $9 million export contract to supply an Intelligence Knowledge Management (IKM) system for delivery within 18 months. The new system is based on the advanced capabilities developed by the company for several projects already operational inside Israel. However, it is being planned and modified according to the new customer’s needs and the order is seen to open the possibility of further export contracts in the emerging, diverse field of intelligence.
