The program calls for Teledyne FLIR Defense to deliver 10 Star Safire 380-HLD systems over the next three years. The company already has delivered two systems to JMSDF for test and evaluation purposes, plus one spare unit.
The Star Safire 380-HLD is an ultra-long-range airborne surveillance system that delivers high-definition visual and thermal imagery to operators. It features superior image stabilization and, with its laser designator and rangefinder, provides
highly accurate target location and laser spot
positioning. Extremely durable, the SS 380-HLD can operate continuously in all weather conditions. It’s the world’s most widely deployed imaging system of its type for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting missions.
