Teledyne FLIR OEM Ends Sales of SIRAS Drone

August 4, 2025 by Miriam McNabb Leave a Comment

Company Refocuses on Core Thermal Imaging and Software Technologies

Teledyne FLIR to Discontinue SIRAS Drone Sales

Teledyne FLIR OEM has announced that it will stop selling its SIRAS professional drone by August 31, 2025. The company will continue to provide warranty service, parts, and technical support for existing customers through September 30, 2027.

SIRAS was first launched in September 2022. Since then, it has been used in critical missions for public safety and industrial inspection.

“We want to sincerely thank our customers and channel partners for their support of SIRAS,” said Paul Clayton, Vice President and General Manager of Teledyne FLIR OEM. “Your trust and collaboration have been instrumental in the success of this platform, and we look forward to continuing to support your missions with our industry-leading thermal imaging technologies.”

A Strategic Shift Toward Core Strengths

Although the company has received positive feedback about the drone, Teledyne FLIR OEM has decided to shift focus. It will now prioritize its strengths in thermal camera modules and embedded software.

This move will allow the company to accelerate work in fast-growing areas like defense, automotive systems, and AI-supported decision-making.

“Our industry-leading thermal camera modules will continue to be integrated into platforms from Teledyne FLIR Defense, Skydio, Red Cat, AerialOGI, and others,” the announcement said.

Teledyne FLIR Defense will keep producing advanced drone airframes, including the SkyRanger and Black Hornet.

Support Through the Transition

To help its customers and distributors during this change, the company will offer a range of support services. These include:

  • Warranty support through September 2027

  • Spare parts and repair services (subject to availability)

  • Help with planning for replacement solutions

Teledyne FLIR’s decision to end SIRAS sales marks a return to its core business in thermal imaging. The company remains focused on enabling drone manufacturers with high-quality sensors and software that support demanding applications.
