FLIR成立于1978年，是高性能低成本机载应用红外（热）成像系统的倡导者。热成像系统检测由所有人、物体和材料辐射的红外能量（热量）。红外热像仪使操作人员能够在漆黑环境、恶劣天气中，透过烟、雾等空气污染物看清人和物体。

在20世纪80年代末，FLIR开始利用其在红外成像技术领域的经验，面向不仅要求出色图像质量而且要求能够检测和测量温差的各种商业应用，开发手持式实验室系统。随着于1990年并购来自休斯飞机公司的工业红外成像团体，这一工作得以提速。

后来，FLIR分别于1998年和1999年年中收购了Agema（瑞典）和Inframetrics（马萨诸塞州波士顿），为FLIR工程及销售团队提供了支持基础设施，加速了FLIR在商业热成像市场取得成功的步伐。Agema和Inframetrics共代表超过60年的重大红外热像仪发展与热成像应用专业知识。Agema于1965年开发出首款专为电力线路巡检设计的商用红外扫描仪，于1973年开发出首款电池供电的便携式红外扫描仪，于1978年面向研发领域推出首款能够进行实时模拟记录的双波长系统，于1997年推出首款非制冷型红外热像仪——Agema 570。Inframetrics同为商用红外热像仪和热成像培训领域的拓荒者，于1975年开发出首款兼容TV的红外系统，于1995年开发出首款功能齐全的摄像机型焦平面阵列（FPA）红外热像仪。

FLIR于2003年收购了Indigo Systems——包括制冷型和非制冷型红外探测器、热像仪机芯和热像仪整机在内的各种红外成像产品的领先开发商和供应商。

迄今，FLIR已投资了不计其数的相邻市场、技术和产品，旨在拓展其传感器解决方案系列及其服务更广泛客户的能力。这些投资实现了收益和销量的显著增长，这有助于降低成本，进而降低最终用户购置产品的价格。这就实现了客户的大幅增长以及热成像技术强大功能的全球意识的增强。

目前，FLIR在全球多个地方经营业务，共拥有逾3000名专职员工。

FLIR Systems, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and distributes technologies that enhance perception and awareness. We bring innovative sensing solutions into daily life through our thermal imaging, visible-light imaging, video analytics, measurement and diagnostic, and advanced threat detection systems.

FLIR offers a diversified portfolio that serves a number of applications in government & defense, industrial, and commercial markets. Our products help first responders and military personnel protect and save lives, promote efficiency within the trades, and innovate consumer-facing technologies. FLIR strives to strengthen public safety and well-being, increase energy and time efficiency, and contribute to healthy and intelligent communities.

FLIR was established in 1978 to pioneer the development of high-performance, low-cost infrared (thermal) imaging systems for airborne applications. Thermal imaging systems detect the infrared energy (heat) that is emitted by all people, objects and materials. Infrared cameras allow the operator to see in total darkness, adverse weather and through such air pollutants as smoke and haze.

Toward the end of the 1980s, FLIR began to leverage its experience in infrared imaging technology to develop hand-held and laboratory systems for a variety of commercial applications that required not only superior image quality, but also the ability to detect and measure temperature differences. This effort accelerated with the acquisition of the industrial infrared imaging group from the Hughes Aircraft Co. in 1990.

The acquisition of Agema (Sweden) in 1998 and of Inframetrics (Boston, MA) in mid-1999 provided FLIR engineering teams and sales and support infrastructure that accelerated FLIR’s success in commercial thermal imaging markets. Together, Agema and Inframetrics represented over 60 years of significant infrared camera development and thermography applications expertise. Agema developed the first commercial infrared scanner, designed for powerline inspections, in 1965, the first battery-operated portable infrared scanner in 1973, the first dual-wavelength system capable of real-time analog recording for R&D markets in 1978, and the first uncooled infrared camera, the Agema 570, and 1997. Inframetrics, also a pioneer in commercial infrared cameras and thermography training, developed the first TV-compatible infrared system in 1975 and the first full-featured camcorder-style focal plane array (FPA) infrared camera in 1995.

In 2003, FLIR acquired Indigo Systems, a leading developer and supplier of a wide range of infrared imaging products, including cooled and uncooled infrared detectors, camera cores, and finished cameras.

Ever since, FLIR has invested in numerous adjacent markets, technologies, and products to expand its sensor solution set and its ability to service a broader set of customers. These investments have enabled significant growth in revenue and unit volumes, which has helped reduce the cost, and thus end user prices, of the products. This has resulted in dramatic increases in customers as well as increased global awareness of the power of thermal technology.

Currently, FLIR operates in many locations around the globe and employs a total of over 3,000 dedicated employees.
