WILSONVILLE, OR--(Marketwired - Feb 15, 2017) - FLIR Systems, Inc. (
To support the U.S. Coast Guard's search and rescue mission, the Raymarine LightHouse operating system offers pre-programmed SAR (search and rescue) patterns, allowing the U.S. Coast Guard to more effectively execute coordinated multi-vessel SAR operations. The LightHouse based SINS-2 system also features advanced graphical target intercept tools and encrypted communications designed to increase safety, ensure situational awareness, and enhance mission success rates.
Additionally, FLIR's SINS-2 products offer a rich integration with existing FLIR M-Series and SeaFLIR ® thermal imaging cameras currently in use by many U.S. Coast Guard boats and cutters. This integration will help the U.S. Coast Guard streamline configuration management, installation, and crew readiness while improving overall efficiency.

Produced under our unique Commercially Developed - Military Qualified (CDMQ™) model, the FLIR SINS-2 product suite offers powerful functionality, proven reliability, and simple operation, leveraging the strengths of both our FLIR and Raymarine product lines," said Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR.
