Long term I believe others will move into this market space. So my NEG is long-term beyond 6 months - a year. Otherwise a HOLD.

Update 08/14:

They are able to sell equipment at top prices because they were first out but I believe that the competition is just a year or two away from crushing their revenue model. They charge for everything top dollar. Competitors can easily move into this segment. Infra red is not_really_space technology. It is quite simple compared to many other technical solutions. I don't understand why not any of the old brand names as KODAK have move into this field capitalizing on the brand they have left. The volume post all wars would be IR cameras for industry and other uses.  If the military piece is enough others as
Raytheon and the major defense industries would move in. I can't  see the FLIR could really take this fight and win.
