Teledyne FLIR Defense has received a $15
million contract through the U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen
Proving Ground to deliver more than 150 of its ThermoSight®
HISS-XLR weapon sights to a NATO partner country. The ThermoSight®
HISS-XLR clip-on thermal weapon sight enables snipers and precision
shooters to detect and recognize man-size targets at more than
2,000 meters. The highly portable HISS-XLR can interface with a
wide range of day scopes and weapon platforms. Long-range optics
coupled with an HD display provide crisp imagery, while portrait
