Helicopters to be used in coastguard duties from the summer will be equipped with the latest night vision goggle technology, operator Bristow has said.
The company was awarded a contract last year to provide search and rescue cover from Sumburgh in Shetland and Stornoway in the Western Isles.
It will run until the long-term future of search and rescue is secured.
Bristow said an element of the night vision kit had required an export agreement with the US State Department.
