FLIR Systems has now integrated all of the products of the former OmniTech Partners, Inc., and its subsidiary Optical Systems Technology, Inc. (OSTI), into its family of Soldier Solutions. This includes both weapon-mounted image intensified sights, and image-fused I2/infrared imaging systems. Through the integration of OSTI, FLIR now provides a bridge for Night Vision users to the world of infrared and the future of multi-spectral night vision, allowing the merger of these two critical technologies to maximize the benefits of both.
OSTI’s night sights and other products are complementary with FLIR’s existing line of mid wave and long wave infrared sighting sensors and systems. FLIR’s low cost, high performance infrared technology augment OSTI’s technology and allow the creation of low cost, multi-spectral clip on solutions using OSTI’s patented optical fusion technologies. With infrared, users are able to detect targets more quickly despite camouflage, smoke, dust and adverse weather, and follow up with the high resolution I2 imagery for target identification.
Operating as a part of FLIR’s Government Systems Division, OmniTech and its subsidiary OSTI, are now known as FLIR Government Systems Pittsburgh, focusing on weapon sights, hand-held night vision viewers, and other night vision sensors for individual Soldiers, force protection, ISR, and other I2 applications that will benefit from the addition of infrared vision. As the world’s leader in infrared detectors and cameras, FLIR’s high volume manufacturing capacity and low costs will be essential to the adoption of these combined products on a large scale.
