High-power laser weapons targeting objects at 0.5 ~ 4.0km distances require optical components with sub-nm wavefront error precision. Our Company has successfully developed aspherical polishing and high-power laser coating technologies for Ø300 ~ 550mm optical components through defense project experiences. measurement technology 1) Laser Induced Damage Threshold(LIDT) - The evaluation to confirm the durability of optical components is called LIDT (Laser-Induced Damage Threshold), which is defined as "the maximum amount of laser radiation incident on an optical component when the expected probability of damage is zero" (ISO 21254). In other words, it represents the maximum intensity or power of laser that an optical component can withstand, making it a critical requirement in laser weapon systems. - Our company has established LIDT measurement technology and in-house facilities developed in accordance with ISO 21254 standards. When compared with LIDT test results from domestic and international companies during laser weapon system development, we have demonstrated measurement technology and accuracy that meets or exceeds industry standards. While overseas companies require more than one month for verification processes, our company can immediately provide reliable data through our LIDT system. 2) Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy(CRDS) - When the reflectivity is 99.997%, this may not present significant issues in low-power laser applications. However, in high-power laser components, even the 0.05% of light that passes through the optical mirror can cause problems in vulnerable parts of the system, including rear optical instruments, bonded lenses, and control cables. Therefore, measurement and evaluation methods for high-reflectivity optical mirrors are extremely important. - Currently, the transmittance and reflectance of optical components are generally measured using spectrophotometers, but measuring reflectance levels of 99.5% or higher is not possible with this method. CRDS (Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy) technology is required to achieve measurement resolution beyond that of spectrophotometers, and our company has established this system to measure the reflectance of various optical components. This is a critically important technology for responding to high-power laser weapon system development requirements.

The HXB13 Connectors, featuring expanded beam technology, hermaphroditic connection, rugged construction for field deployment have been designed for harsh environment applications such as military tactical communications, avionics, offshore systems, outside broadcast, mining and plant.

The expanded beam technology uses expanded and collimated beams to couple optical fibers without any contact. It could allow for optics to be used in areas that have been quite restrictive due to presence of damage or contamination at the fiber end. Hermaphroditic connector design enables fast deployment by daisy-chaining multiple cable segments.

FEATURES
· Advanced expanded beam technology
· Rugged field deployable fiber optic connector
· Hermaphroditic interconnection
· 2 to 4 Optical Channels for Singlemode or Multimode
· Custom configurations available
· Environmental sealing (IPX8)
· Very high resistance to vibration, shock, environmental effects, dust, and debris

A ground control system that establishes unmanned aerial vehicle missions, controls aircraft and mission equipment, reads image information, and transmits it to higher-level units.

Type-classified by U.S. SOCOM and designed specifically for non-turreted vehicles, TACNAV Light offers: Highlights GPS backup and enhancement, vehicle position, hull azimuth, and steer-to/cross-track error displays One of the lowest cost tactical navigation systems available Improved operational effectiveness and increased force OPTEMPO Application Features Compass for the highest degree of accuracy and unjammable position and navigation information Dead reckoning and odometer interface for accuracy to within 2-3% of distance traveled Digital interface with Battle Management Systems for improved situational awareness Uses TACNAV Universal Multilingual Display (UMD) capable of presenting data in virtually any language Applications Light military vehicles The TACNAV Light is controlled by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, USC Sec 2751 et seq.) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, ITAR, 22 CFR 120-130, and may not be exported from the United States or disclosed to a foreign person in the United States except as authorized by those regulations.

With a peak torque of >200Nm / 1770 lbf-in and a rated torque of 80Nm / 708 lbf-in, the fully redundant DA 58-D is the strongest, electromechanical, fully integrated (actuator control electronics, position sensing, motor and drivetrain in one housing) actuator in the market. Besides the well-proven redundant RS 485 interface, the DA 58-D also features a redundant CAN bus interface. The DA 58-D has been developed for applications with the highest reliability demands. The redundant – two channel – design of the actuator allows continuous operation even if one of the two channels has failed. All major components such as the electric motors, control and communication electronics, and power supply are available twice (redundant). The actuator features a triple-redundant position sensor (2 out of 3 voting). Additionally there are several sensors integrated to provide diagnostic information such as current consumption, supply voltage levels and temperature readings. All major components of the actuator are continuously diagnosed by the microcontrollers of the actuator and its health status can be read via the redundant RS485 / CAN interface.
