INDUSTRY NEWS<br />

FLIR Systems has announced today<br />

that the FLIR ONE thermal imaging<br />

accessory for smartphones will be<br />

available for order online this week<br />

The award-winning FLIR<br />

ONE is a lightweight<br />

accessory that transforms<br />

an iPhone 5 or 5s into a<br />

powerful thermal imager.<br />

When paired with its<br />

iPhone app, FLIR ONE<br />

displays live infrared<br />

imagery that allows the<br />

user to see the world from<br />

a thermal perspective.<br />

FLIR ONE detects invisible<br />

heat energy, giving<br />

consumers the ability<br />

to “see” and measure<br />

minute variances in<br />

temperature. FLIR ONE<br />

enables a host of practical<br />

solutions for consumers<br />

-- from detecting energy<br />

leaks at home to seeing<br />

in complete darkness. For<br />

the first time, FLIR ONE<br />

brings powerful energy<br />

saving and situational<br />

awareness capabilities to<br />

a smart phone platform.<br />

Integrating FLIR’s groundbreaking<br />

Lepton® thermal<br />

imaging micro-camera<br />

core plus a visible camera,<br />

the FLIR ONE provides<br />

FLIR’s patented MSX®<br />

Technology that brings<br />

sharp detail to the thermal<br />

images.<br />

“After the positive<br />

reception received in the<br />

United States, we are<br />

excited to offer FLIR ONE<br />

to European customers,”<br />

said Andy Teich, President<br />

and CEO of FLIR Systems.<br />

“FLIR is committed to<br />

providing the world’s sixth<br />

sense by bringing thermal<br />

imaging to consumers in<br />

an affordable, easy to use<br />

way.”<br />

FLIR ONE enables users<br />

to see at night, detect<br />

intruders, and see through<br />

light fog and smoke.<br />

FLIR ONE detects a wide<br />

range of temperatures and<br />

has a spot temperature<br />

measurement display.<br />

Users can capture either<br />

photos or videos and<br />

share them via text,<br />

email, or social media<br />

through the FLIR ONE<br />

app, which is available<br />

in the Apple App Store.<br />

In addition, a variety of<br />

artistic and functional<br />

FLIR ONE supporting<br />

apps are available in the<br />

Apple App store that<br />

allow users to take closeup<br />

photos, time-lapse<br />

video, panoramic photos,<br />

and hybrid thermal plus<br />

visible-light images.<br />

Thales has been selected by<br />

Aéroports de Lyon for the supply,<br />

integration and support of the new<br />

airport operation control centre of<br />

the “Lyon Saint-Exupéry” airport<br />

The Airport Operation<br />

Control Centre (AOCC)<br />

which will equip the<br />

airport, is designed to<br />

meet the evolving needs<br />

of modern airports like<br />

“Lyon Saint-Exupéry”. The<br />

AOCC is an innovative<br />

and advanced integration<br />

platform which combines<br />

operations management<br />

and security systems into<br />

a seamless solution, thus<br />

addressing the complexity<br />

of managing complicated<br />

airport environments.<br />

Thanks to its innovative<br />

process optimisation<br />

solution, Thales’s modular<br />

and scalable AOCC will<br />

allow Aéroports de Lyon<br />

to run airport operations<br />

efficiently and effectively.<br />

The solution integrates<br />

a number of different<br />

systems, an approach<br />

which enhances global<br />

situation awareness,<br />

monitors key performance<br />

indicators and facilitates<br />

collaborative decision<br />

making. As a result, the<br />

AOCC can promptly<br />

identify and manage<br />

events and alarms thanks<br />

to the integration of all<br />

airport systems, including,<br />

security, airport IT, airside<br />

systems and technical<br />

monitoring.<br />

In concert with Aéroports<br />

de Lyon’s expansion<br />

plans for the airport, the<br />

project is scheduled to be<br />

completed in 2015 and the<br />

new AOCC will manage<br />

both the existing terminal<br />

and the new one under<br />

construction.<br />

This new project confirms<br />

Thales’s global airport<br />

security expertise,<br />

complementing its<br />

successful references and<br />

security solutions across<br />

many major international<br />

hubs including Dubai,<br />

Doha, Durban and<br />

Singapore.<br />
