Teledyne FLIR Announces SIRAS Drones for Emergency Services Promotion

Teledyne FLIR, a division of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today announced a limited-time promotion for SIRAS, a professional-grade drone that includes a quick-release dual-radiometric thermal and visible payload. First responders, including police, fire and search and rescue agencies, can now purchase one unit per agency from Teledyne FLIR at a significantly discounted price of $6,995, a discount of more than 28 percent, through the end of calendar year 2024.

SIRAS drones are designed with data security, efficiency and affordability in mind, making them an ideal choice for public safety, firefighting and search and rescue missions. With a significant price reduction, agencies can replace or add to their existing drone fleet with an offering that is specifically designed for safety and security.

“First responders are investing in SIRAS. In recognition of their mission and budget constraints, we want to support the community with this promotion that runs through National First Responders Day and beyond,” said Mike Walters, Vice President of Product Management at Teledyne FLIR. “Particularly for those organizations looking for an alternative to drones originating from countries of concern. Teledyne FLIR is proud to offer those on the front lines a drone that makes their missions fast, safe and confident.”

SIRAS is an IP-54-rated aircraft with a flight time of over 30 minutes, a forward collision avoidance radar system and backpack capability. Without geofencing restrictions, first responder UAV pilots have control over when and where to fly SIRAS based on mission requirements. The Vue® TV128 payload includes a 16 MP visible camera with 128x zoom to pinpoint details. The integrated 640×512 pixel radiometric Boson® provides best-in-class thermal imagery, 5x digital zoom and temperature measurement of every pixel in the scene.

Designed with cybersecurity in mind, SIRAS stores images and video directly to an onboard SD card without cloud connectivity. Additionally, drone pilots do not need to set up an online profile, simplifying operations and minimizing the risk of inadvertent online data disclosure. The aircraft is manufactured in Taiwan, and the payload is manufactured at Teledyne FLIR’s facility in Goleta, California, USA.
