Teledyne Flir Defense, LLC

Teledyne Flir Defense, Inc., doing business as ICX Technologies, a Maryland-based subsidiary of Teledyne Flir, LLC, manufactures advanced thermal imaging, infrared camera systems, and electro-optical sensor technologies for the federal government as a prime contractor on full-and-open procurements with no characteristic set-aside posture. The company holds primary NAICS classifications in search, detection, navigation, and guidance system manufacturing (25 awards) and electronic component manufacturing (20 awards), with specialized expertise in reconnaissance vehicle sensor suites, unmanned aerial vehicle systems, thermal focusing units, and chemical-biological detection equipment.

Teledyne Flir Defense's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army modernization programs. The top five customer organizations by potential value account for 98 percent of combined potential value, dominated by the Army's Program Manager Project Executive Office for the Productive Base User Support Enterprise (PMPEO PBUSE) at $997 million across a single award; the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense at $639.2 million across fourteen awards; and Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground at $559.2 million across two awards. By award count, the Federal Aviation Administration's Non-Franchise Acquisition Services division leads with 25 repair and maintenance orders totaling $857 thousand, reflecting a long-standing supply relationship for thermal focusing unit repairs and surveillance system support. This divergence signals high-dollar Army reconnaissance-vehicle programs offset by numerous smaller FAA maintenance tasks.

Teledyne Flir Defense's core federal work centers on two major vehicle families. The centerpiece is a single-award indefinite delivery contract from the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense, valued at $168.3 million through September 2029, for low-rate initial production of the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Sensor Suite Upgrade Capability Set 2.1. Two delivery orders issued under this IDC total $31.3 million: a $9.86 million firm fixed-price order awarded October 1, 2024, for refurbishment of test assets and low-rate initial production support through July 27, 2026, and a $21.4 million order awarded March 31, 2025, for production of test assets with completion targeted for September 30, 2026, both performed in Elkridge, Maryland. A second major award is an $85.8 million definitive contract from the Department of the Army, issued February 13, 2025, for design, development, and production of the Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Sensor Suite Upgrade Capability Set 2.2, with completion targeted for February 2, 2029. A $28.76 million definitive contract from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, awarded June 4, 2026, procures Enhanced Mobile Surveillance Capabilities—Lite (EMSC-L) systems for border security operations, completing June 3, 2028. Beyond the large programs, Teledyne Flir Defense executes numerous small firm fixed-price purchase orders with the FAA Non-Franchise Acquisition Services for thermal focusing unit repairs, pan-tilt system repairs, and surveillance asset support, ranging from $10 thousand to $163 thousand per order.

Activity has accelerated sharply. The vendor recorded one award in 2022, two in 2023, five in 2024, and 32 in 2025, with four awards recorded in 2026 to date. This trajectory reflects the ramping of the NBCRV sensor-suite programs and FAA maintenance ordering. Six awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $68.1 million, creating recompete exposure primarily on the FAA maintenance stream and smaller Army task orders.

Teledyne Flir Defense subcontracts minimally—only three sub-awards (4% of total portfolio) appear in the source, all routed through primes DCS Corporation and Amentum Services, Inc. for technical and engineering services support and aircraft maintenance logistics, indicating the vendor operates predominantly as a prime manufacturer rather than as a deep subcontractor.

The vendor holds position on four named Army indefinite delivery contracts: W911NF12D0002 (11 task orders, $54.2 million combined potential value), W911SR15D0001 (11 task orders, $277.5 million), W911SR24D0008 (2 task orders, $31.3 million), and W56HZV23D0017 (2 task orders), enabling task-order competition across the Army's modernization and R&D footprint. These vehicles anchor the vendor's access to Army demand streams for sensor development and production work.
