SIG Sauer Academy has announced a partnership with FLIR Systems for its Night Vision Operator course, to include the addition of cutting-edge FLIR Night Vision and Thermal Imaging equipment.
"The addition of FLIR products to our Night Vision Operator course will allow SIG Sauer Academy students to experience the latest and some of the most innovative night vision devices, and expand their operational capabilities.

The SIG Sauer Academy Night Vision Operator Course is designed for law enforcement and military units to enhance their capabilities and safety with night vision and thermal imagining equipment for critical situations.

"We're excited to partner with an industry leading brand to better the lives and livelihoods of our customers."
