Emerging defence prime Anduril Industries has announced its acquisition of American Infrared Solutions, the US-based manufacturer of high-performance cooled infrared cameras and components.
American Infrared Solutions (AIR) has previously supplied Anduril across products in air, space, ground and sea domains. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“The acquisition will further integrate AIRS’ advanced hardware into Anduril’s portfolio of sensing systems, expanding the range and capability of technologies available to customers,” an Anduril spokesperson said.
“Through this acquisition, Anduril will also become a merchant supplier of cooled infrared cameras and components, serving the broader defence, space and commercial industrial base.
“AIRS’ product family joins Anduril’s existing family of imaging products, including the Iris long-range optical sensor and the Wisp high-performance 360-deg infrared camera.
“Together, these systems deliver day and night visibility, detection and tracking capabilities across a range of mission sets, from fixed-site surveillance to mobile operations.
“AIRS will continue to operate from its facilities in New Hampshire, serving its existing customer base. With AIRS on our team in its deepened capacity, American warfighters equipped with Anduril mission systems will be protected from threats thanks to standard-setting technology integrated into an organisation that is supercharging weapons system manufacturing.”
