Teledyne Flir Defense, LLC

Teledyne Flir Defense, LLC, doing business as ICX Technologies, is a Maryland-based subsidiary of Teledyne Flir, LLC that manufactures advanced thermal imaging, infrared camera systems, and electro-optical sensor technologies for federal defense and civilian agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards), competing full-and-open with no set-aside posture. The company operates from Elkridge, Maryland, with secondary performance locations in Oklahoma City and Fort Belvoir, and specializes in Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System Manufacturing (NAICS 334511) and Electronic Component Manufacturing (NAICS 334419).

Teledyne Flir Defense's prime award portfolio spans thermal focusing unit repairs, surveillance systems, reconnaissance vehicle sensor suites, and unmanned aerial platforms. Recent representative work includes an $86.1 million definitive contract awarded February 13, 2025, by the Department of the Army for design, development, and production of the Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Sensor Suite Upgrade Capability Set 2.2, completing February 2029; a $168.3 million single-award indefinite delivery contract awarded October 1, 2024, by the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense for low-rate initial production of the NBCRV Sensor Suite Upgrade Capability Set 2.1 through September 2029; a $28.8 million definitive contract from U.S. Customs and Border Protection for Enhanced Mobile Surveillance Capabilities-Lite systems awarded June 4, 2026, completing June 2028; and a $6.3 million definitive contract from Communications Electronics Command for thermal surveillance camera systems supporting the Jordan Border Security Program (Foreign Military Sales Case JO-B-YFJ), awarded June 18, 2025, completing December 2027. Routine maintenance and repair work on thermal focusing units, pan-tilt systems, and related electro-optical equipment account for dozens of smaller purchase orders from the Federal Aviation Administration's Non-Franchise Acquisition Services and other civilian agencies, typically valued under $200,000 each.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of the Army across multiple subordinate commands. The top five customer lines account for 80% of awards by count, led by FAA Non-Franchise Acquisition Services (28 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value) and the Army's Joint PEO Chemical and Biological Defense (14 awards, $639.2 million combined potential value). By potential value, concentration is severe: the Army's PMPEO PBUSE (Productive Maintenance Program Executive Office for Platform Business Unit Soldier Equipment) anchors a single $997 million award; Joint PEO CBD carries $639.2 million across 14 awards; and Army Materiel Command Aberdeen Proving Ground holds $559.2 million across two awards. The FAA's high-volume, low-value award count masks negligible dollars; Army programs dominate the dollar footprint with roughly 98% of combined potential value across all awards.

The vendor operates on multiple Army indefinite delivery contracts, placing 11 task orders under IDC W911SR15D0001 ($277.5 million combined potential value), 11 task orders under IDC W911NF12D0002 ($54.2 million), and three task orders under IDC W911SR24D0008 ($42.6 million). These are the primary parent vehicles through which the vendor executes NBCRV Sensor Suite Upgrade work and related Army modernization efforts. The single-award JPEO-CBD IDIQ ($168.3 million ceiling through September 2029) has issued two delivery orders: $9.9 million for refurbishment of test assets and low-rate initial production support, and $21.4 million for production of test assets. A $3 million definitive contract from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for SkyRaider depot-level services and spare parts (awarded March 15, 2025, completing March 2030) reflects the company's role in specialized unmanned system support across defense agencies.

Activity has grown sharply, from one award in 2022 to 32 awards in 2025, then moderating to eight awards in 2026 year-to-date. Of 81 total prime and sub awards in the source data, only three awards complete within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $46.2 million—a modest recompete exposure relative to the overall $2.42 billion combined potential value footprint, though the large Army programs running through 2028–2029 will face recompetes in that window. In its subcontractor role, Teledyne Flir Defense performs technical and engineering services for DCS Corporation on ground vehicle survivability programs and aircraft maintenance support for Amentum Services, Inc., with work including SkyRaider training, equipment repairs, and aircraft component assembly.

The company's award portfolio reflects primary capability in thermal imaging and sensor system production for military reconnaissance and border security platforms, with civilian air traffic management and aviation safety support through FAA contracts. Competitive procurement across full-and-open and sole-source justifications, combined with specialized technology posture in infrared and electro-optical systems, positions Teledyne Flir Defense as the prime incumbent supplier to Army chemical-biological defense modernization and CBP border surveillance programs—a concentration that anchors its federal footprint.
