Eagleville-based Clear Align, an infrared surveillance technology company, recently was awarded a contract to sustain surveillance capabilities along the U.S. northern border.

The client and dollar amount were not disclosed.

Under the contract, Clear Align will provide electro-optic systems designed to improve situational awareness.

The company’s technology already is deployed at the Northern and Southern U.S. borders where it provides long-range detection and tracking capabilities for individuals, vehicles, and security threats in remote and hostile environments.

Clear Align’s product portfolio includes aerospace payloads such as space borne surveillance assets; thermal cameras capable of detecting threats at distances exceeding 50 miles, integrated with real-time edge processing capabilities; and weapons platforms. The technology can be integrated into military vehicles.

The company combines command and control systems, radar and thermal imaging with artificial intelligence-based threat classification to detect, track and support mitigation of low-profile aerial threats. This includes operations in GPS-denied or low-visibility environments.

The U.S. Department of Defense recently named Clear Align as a leader in counter-drone technology.

Clear Align provides advanced border security systems for the United States and 17 allied nations. It operates more than 100,000-square-feet of manufacturing and engineering facilities in three states and has strategically acquired five competitors over the past two decades.
