LIGHT MANAGEMENT
As soldier-worn optical systems evolve, coatings and filtering technologies will be essential to ensure visual clarity, survivability, and operational effectiveness in contested environments. These innovations will shape the next generation of enhanced Warfighter vision systems.
Protection & Performance
Enhanced Optics
Today’s Warfighter sees more, processes more, and engages faster than ever before. With AR overlays, low-light enhancements, and multi-spectrum threats, the need for next-gen optical coatings and filtering has never been greater.
PEDIGREE
We have a legacy of innovation in lens and optical system design, development and manufacturing, and a deep organizational expertise in materials, technologies and advanced coatings.
STATE-OF-THE-ART
EMS MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
In early 2021, we opened our state-of-the-art, single-point U.S. manufacturing operation specializing in durable, military grade electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) management solutions and advanced optical coatings. Offering environmentally robust, multi-layer AR coatings for laser protection and improved optics performance, through specific and accurate wavelength filtering technology.
We use emerging multi-layer optical filter vapor deposition e-beam processes, in conjunction with dyes, to achieve peak performance and protection from harmful and unwanted wavelengths. Built onto a class-leading foundation of molding, wet coatings, mechanical design, including impact and/or ballistics requirements, we design, engineer and manufacture precision-crafted optics component solutions.
WAVEGUIDE & OPTICAL ASSEMBLY
OPERATIONALLY FOCUSED
Enabling real-time data overlays, augmented targeting, and low-light vision enhancements, advanced waveguide and optical assembly technology enhances the Warfighter’s situational awareness.

FAR, MID, NEAR & VISIBLE WAVELENGTHS
BROAD CAPABILITIES
We can provide full-service product design, development and production or build-to-print manufacturing for small components through large size complex geometry parts up to 54”.
FAR (LONG) INFRARED
Far-infrared coatings enhance thermal imaging, stealth, and target detection, optimizing sensor performance in defense applications like Satellite Lenses, Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) Optics and Hypersonic/Missile Windows.
MID (MEDIUM) INFRARED
Mid-infrared coatings improve target identification, missile guidance, and surveillance, enhancing sensor accuracy in defense applications, like Drone Nosecones/Windows, Light Detection & Ranging (LIDAR) Systems, Mid-IR Laser Systems, and Organic Compound Detection Sensors.
NEAR (VISIBLE) INFRARED
Near-infrared coatings enhance low-light visibility, laser protection, and optical clarity, optimizing defense optics and targeting systems, like Augmented Reality Goggles, Night Vision Optics, Pilot Visors and Heads-Up Displays (HUD).
