General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems in Virginia has created a new division for its infrared and high-definition imaging systems.

General Dynamics said the new unit, named General Dynamics Global Imaging Technologies, builds on the company's expertise in precision optics and will offer integrated imaging solutions to commercial customers as well as military and government customers.

"As we establish this new division, we are building on decades of experience in providing reliable, high-precision optics and camera systems to our customers," said Bob McGill, vice president and general manager of General Dynamics Global Imaging Technologies.

"This heritage of customer service and innovation will continue at General Dynamics Global Imaging Technologies as we produce innovative new capabilities, such as our IronSight camera systems that enhance the warfighter's ability to perform their missions successfully and more efficiently."

General Dynamics also announced it will rename its ER/IR camera product line. The renaming will facilitate customer identification of appropriate electro-optic solutions, General Dynamics said.
