Thermoteknix Systems wins £1.5 million MOD contract

Cambridge, England

Thermoteknix Systems Ltd has been awarded a contract to supply their Clipir Small Thermal Imager Clip On to the UK Ministry of Defence. The contract is for supply of an initial quantity of 180 Clipir units, spares and accessories at a total cost of over £1.5 million. The Clipir units, compatible with most night vision goggles and monocular image intensifiers, are expected to be delivered directly to UK special forces frontline troops.
Clipir extends the use of image intensifier performance into total darkness and low light conditions. It features a full 40° Field of View with fusion of both thermal and intensified imagery and 384x288 thermal resolution for 40 per cent more coverage than 320x240 based detectors and up to 4 and half hours operation from a single AA battery across a full ambient temperature range. Clipir incorporates Thermoteknix’ patented shutterless Microcam XTi Technology , removing the need for internal mechanical shuttering or lens cap corrections and delivering continuous, uninterrupted thermal image from its instant switch-on.

Said Managing Director, Richard Salisbury, “This MOD contract represents an important milestone in the product life cycle of Thermoteknix’ new Clipir thermal imager. It is a real success to add to our long record of innovative thermal engineering that enables us to compete and win successfully at the highest levels in our industry.”
