| Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Note 1. Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of FLIR Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the Company) are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December31, 2008. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December31, 2009. The Company has performed a review for subsequent events through the date of the filing of these financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August10, 2009. |
| Note 2. Accounting for Convertible Debt | Note 2. Accounting for Convertible Debt On January1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). FSP APB 14-1 requires that issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects the entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2008 with retrospective application required. In June 2003, the Company issued $210 million of 3.0 percent senior convertible notes due in 2023. The net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $203.9 million. The Company has determined that the expected life of the notes should be seven years since the notes are first redeemable in June 2010. The Company estimates that its nonconvertible borrowing rate for debt with a seven year maturity issued in June 2003 was 6.0 percent. Accordingly, the value of the liability component of the notes at the time of issuance was $174.4 million and value of the equity component was $35.6 million. The Company has retrospectively applied the provisions of FSP ABP 14-1 to its financial statements beginning in 2003. The retrospective application includes the separation of the liability and equity components of the convertible notes, the reallocation of the $6.1 million of issuance costs between the liability and equity components, an increase in interest expense for periods subsequent to issuance to reflect the estimated nonconvertible borrowing rate, and the related tax effects. FSP APB 14-1 also requires that when debt is extinguished, a gain or loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value of the liability component and its carrying value. The Companys retrospective application, therefore, also includes the impact of conversions of notes with an aggregate principal amount of $18.6 million prior to January1, 2009. The carrying amounts of the convertible notes are as follows (in thousands): June30, 2009 December31, 2008 Liability component: Principal amount $ 91,549 $ 191,419 Unamortized discount (2,411 ) (7,682 ) Unamortized issuance costs (291 ) (942 ) $ 88,847 $ 182,795 Equity component $ (82,375 ) $ 222 The unamortized discount and issuance costs will be amortized through June 2010. As of June30, 2009, 8.3million shares of the Companys common stock were issuable upon conversion of the remaining notes, valued at $186.1 million as of the closing market price on that day. The $186.1 million is in excess of the principal amount by $94.6 million.

| Note 16. Contingencies | Note 16. Contingencies In June 2007, the Company was named as a nominal defendant in a shareholder derivative action filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon: Kathleen Edith Sommers v. Earl R. Lewis, et al. The Sommers complaint alleged that certain stock options granted by the Company were improperly dated, purported to assert claims under various common law theories and under the federal securities laws and alleged the Company is entitled to damages from various individual defendants on a variety of legal theories. On June16, 2008, the court dismissed the complaint, but granted plaintiff leave to amend. On July31, 2008, plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting materially the same claims. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on multiple bases. On February12, 2009, the court granted defendants motion to dismiss and on February19, 2009, entered a judgment dismissing the amended complaint with prejudice. This ruling is under review on appeal. The Company and its subsidiary, Indigo Systems Corporation, (together, the FLIR Parties) were named in a lawsuit filed by Raytheon Company on March2, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. On August11, 2008, Raytheon Company was granted leave to file a second amended complaint.The complaint, as amended, asserts claims for tortious interference, patent infringement, trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition, breach of contract and fraudulent concealment.The FLIR Parties filed an answer to the second amended complaint and counterclaims on September2, 2008, in which they denied all material allegations. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter and is unable to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any, which might result if the outcome in this matter is unfavorable. |
