Defense Optronics

Thanks to our interdisciplinary team, we are able to manufacture high-performance defense optronics and optics for many platforms and domains. Our technologies are tailored to the specific requirements of our customers. And even with all the personalization needed, our scientists, designers and engineers manage to sustain the quality of our products while matching the demands of different applications.

Excelitas has extensive expertise in designing, developing and delivering optronic solutions for various defense applications. For instance, our team employs multi-spectral materials to ensure the operational success of Directed Infrared Counter Measures or DIRCM systems. We also provide Infrared Search and Track or IRST optics for effective long-range tracking and detection of threats. When it comes to defense lasers, our lineup covers both designation and protection. You can also rely on our missile warning optic and optronic solutions if you’re looking to fill requirements for these applications. There is more: we respond to the critical requirements of pulsed, solid-state lasers operating at distinct wavelengths with high-energy optics. Our ring laser gyro mirrors and optical elements match the demanding specifications of RLG applications, offering superior micro-surface roughness, greater reflectivity and lowest scatter. Last but not least, we deploy optical modules in service on major platforms worldwide, such as AJAX, Challenger, LAV and Puma.

Our long list of defense IR, laser and other defense optronic technologies spans many applications. Here’s a short list to get you started:

• DIRCM - Military service personnel protection to help them withstand harsh military environments
