Our recent realigning of our operations will create a streamlined organizational structure that focuses on our customers, leverages our vertical integration, employs our CDMQ model for government markets, and furthers our ability to deliver on our goal of 'infrared everywhere.'"

FLIR also announced today that it currently expects revenue in 2014 to be in the range of $1.45 billion to $1.55 billion and net earnings excluding restructuring charges associated with the business realignment to be in the range of $1.40 to $1.50 per diluted share.
