Enhance Defense And Protection With Rugged Vision Systems
Canon CMOS sensors offer unique performance for next-generation defense solutions.  Continue Reading..
Using Thermal Camera Cores For Reconnaissance Robots
Reconnaissance robots are controlled remotely, which allows for access into normally inaccessible sites and reduces risks for users. The FENIX from PIAP is a light reconnaissance robot designed for detecting threats, and can observe, lift, and neutralize dangerous loads, and transport sabotage equipment.  Continue Reading..
Solving 360° Perimeter Security
With an increase in global conflicts and threats, perimeter security and protection of critical infrastructures, borders, harbors, and other territories is vital. Xenics’ 360° surveillance system is an efficient and cost-friendly monitoring solution to keep properties safe, day and night.  Continue Reading..

MILITARY & DEFENSE PRODUCTS

The 10 dB Fixed Attenuator LCAT1004-10 is rated to 2 Watts and operates from DC to 6 GHz. The versatile coaxial package uses type N male to type N female connectors and is also RoHS compliant.

High Precision Weighing
The outstanding metrology is a result of the load cell with integrated Monobloc technology and of a high precision mechanical design.

Contamination-Free Hygienic Weigh Module

The SWB805 is a fully approved hygienic weigh module for food and pharmaceutical applications. The design is optimized for avoiding contamination and meets compliance requirements in harsh environments. It is designed according to EHEDG guidelines and is NSF and GMP approved.

GeoStrong Repair Mortar is a one-component, non-shrink, fast-setting geopolymer mortar designed for repairing horizontal, vertical and overhead concrete surfaces where high strength is desired.

Unlike other cementitious liners, the unique GeoSpray mortar chemistry provides superior flexural and compressive strength, as well as ultra-low porosity and high self-bonding which eliminates cold joints.

GeoRoc liner creates an integral nano polymeric structure that continues to react over time, resulting in continuous improved performance and strength. This product rapidly cures, which means that the rehabilitated structure can be quickly put back into service after its GeoRoc liner application. GeoRoc liner can also be used in new construction projects as a replacement for OPC as well as high-performance cement mortars.

Ranked among the industry’s most innovative solutions, the light and compact AVT EZ Valve is designed with a built-in isolation gate that allows the valve to be installed under pressure, a design feature that permits flow through the line while the repair is being made. It is durable, reliable, and certified to industry standards.

MILITARY & DEFENSE VIDEOS

  • Telops has responded to the request of their customers for a smaller version of their Hyper-Cam hyperspectral camera and has miniaturized it enough so that it can be integrated into smaller systems and packages.

  • Craig Taylor with Qioptiq, an Excelitas Technologies Company spent some time with us on day two of the DSS exhibition to give us an overview of some of his division’s work in optical modules and systems used in the aerospace and defense markets. He then turns it over to Eric Desfonds with Excelitas so he could catch us up on some of their more recent product developments, including their newly launched N-type quadrant detectors.

  • Technology involving military and industrial imaging applications is prevalent at DSS this year, and Sensors Unlimited's was no exception. Check out the video to hear Bob Jones talk about two newer SWIR cameras for these two market segments, and what makes them a fit for each.

  • In this video, Precision Optics Corp president Joe Forkey gives us a brief overview of his company and then gives us a closer look at some of the things they featured at their Photonics West booth. 

  • In this video, Jim Hooker, from L-3 Applied Optics Center, gives us an overview of his company and their capabilities.

  • Vincent Farley with Telops gives us an overview of the Hyper-Cam Hyperspectral Imaging System and its role in defense and security related applications such as standoff chemical detection and identification, characterization of rockets, missiles, and flares, and more.

  • Eric Desfonds with Excelitas runs us through their offerings displayed at SPIE DSS 2013.
