PRESS RELEASE
GOLETA, Calif., Oct. 30, 2024 — Today, Teledyne FLIR (part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated) announced that, for the first time, the Teledyne FLIR SIRAS professional uncrewed aerial system (UAS) will be available across Canada. This is being made possible through Rocky Mountain Unmanned Systems (RMUS).
The SIRAS professional drone is designed for professional missions, including industrial and utilities inspection, firefighting, law enforcement, and search and rescue. Canadian drone professionals can now reap the benefits of a professional UAS specifically engineered for data security, performance, and affordability.
“As demand heightens for sophisticated UAS solutions that include expert programs and support, expanding into Canada with unmatched support and distribution through RMUS, an existing partner in the USA, is a natural progression,” said Mike Walters, Vice President, Teledyne FLIR. “Teledyne FLIR and RMUS have joined forces in Canada to provide unmanned visible-thermal innovation to Canada via the SIRAS drone. It is ideal for visual inspection and decision support across industrial, energy, and emergency response.”
RMUS is a leading unmanned solutions vendor in North America, providing vetted equipment sales, online and in-person education programs, and professional and technical support services. For the past decade, RMUS has pioneered innovation and progress in the uncrewed systems industry, helping set up programs including drones, robots, high-end sensors, cameras, artificial intelligence (AI) software, and counter UAS systems.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Teledyne FLIR to bring cutting-edge drone solutions to the Canadian market,” said Kevin Toderel, General Manager, RMUS Canada. “We are committed to delivering exceptional quality, reliability, and performance to our customers empowering businesses, organizations, and individuals to unlock the full potential of drone technology.”
Earlier this month, Teledyne FLIR introduced the ITAR-free Vue® TV128+ camera module, a high-performance, thermal-and-visible camera payload that will also be available in Canada. Purpose-built for SIRAS, it provides industry-leading thermal sensitivity for first responder missions and industrial inspections. The Vue TV128+ series pairs a 128x-zoom, 16MP visible camera with a performance-leading 640×512 resolution FLIR Boson®+ thermal camera within a quick-connect gimbal. The Vue TV128+ is available as part of a SIRAS drone bundle, or it can be purchased as a standalone payload option.
