Missile Optronics

Excelitas is an industry leader in designing and manufacturing optronics solutions that are used in missile seeker applications, which are generally integrated with ground and airborne defense platforms and missile defense protection systems. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, you can rely on our vast expertise on defense platforms to deliver solutions that meet your specifications. In addition, Excelitas provides high-quality products to create the most powerful protection systems against missile threats.

Armed forces and security personnel use missile optronics for missile seeker applications and those that require highly precise measurement, evaluation, targeting, and self-protection against laser range finders and missile threats. When deployed on countless armored vehicles, aircraft and submarines, they can enable the effective surveillance and identification of missile threats and aid in intelligence gathering and targeting from an airborne vantage point.

At Excelitas, we have a strong pedigree in designing and manufacturing vital components for protection systems and defense platforms. Our dome assemblies are manufactured from high-strength materials, such as Germanium, Zinc Sulfide, ALON, Sapphire, Fluoride, Magnesium, and many others. In addition, we apply high-efficiency, high-durability dome coatings to ensure the strength and durability of dome surfaces while optimizing transmission and uniformity. Many of these solutions use passive optical athermalization to help defense platforms focus on incoming threats at a wide temperature range. Above all, we constantly work with a wide range of exotic materials to deliver specialized multi-spectral domes and optics for multi-mode missile seeker applications.

Missile optronics solutions by Excelitas are manufactured to support a wide range of military applications. They are mainly used for defense systems against air-to-air, surface-to-air, and ground-to-ground missiles. Other applications include defense platforms against laser range finders, laser target designators, and radar-guided threats. As a leader in missile optronics, Excelitas’ solutions are used by some of the world’s largest manufacturers of military vehicles and equipment, including Eurofighter, Tornado, Rafale, Tiger, JAGM, TOW, IRIS-T, and CAMM.

For over 20 years in the industry, Excelitas has positioned itself as a leader in design, manufacturing, and innovation in the field of missile optronics. We offer standard and bespoke solutions for missile optronics to suit a wide variety of applications. We work with an extensive array of exotic materials to ensure that our products meet your design specifications. Tell us about your pressing design needs and we will help you accommodate them.
