LVSS is designed for missions that call for speed, mobility and flexibility, and ideally suited to protecting infrastructure, bases, and personnel from both air- and ground-based threats.
“We’re honored to work with METCO in supporting a key military entity in its critical mission of safeguarding the nation,” said Stan Crawford, senior director of business development for the Middle East at Teledyne FLIR Defense. “The LVSS platform combines technologies FLIR Defense has pioneered for decades. It has been deployed successfully worldwide, helping customers secure their borders, critical installations, and shorelines from threats day or night.”
METCO, in coordination with Teledyne FLIR Defense and the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI), have an approved localization plan for this effort. The LVSS systems are expected to be delivered by the end of 2025.
