Aerospace & Defense

Precision optics have revolutionized aerospace and defense industries, enabling advanced imaging, targeting, and navigation systems. From satellite imaging to laser guidance, they provide unparalleled accuracy and reliability in surveillance, reconnaissance, and missile defense. 

Omega Optical delivers unmatched performance and durability in extreme environments.

The current and emerging needs of the Mil-Aero industries demand advanced solutions that are lightweight, nonreflective, durable, and crystal clear. We work in the UV through FIR wavelength ranges to advance NIR, SWIR, MWIR Imaging; Multispectral Sensing and Imaging; LiDAR and Laser Systems; Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle (UAV) Applications; Airborne and Orbital Optics; and Space-Based Optics for Mars and Lunar Missions.
Expanding our universe
Omega Optical solutions have been instrumental in the investigation of countless phenomena, from galactic super clusters to intricate nebulas and the first direct observation of an extra-solar planet. We are proud to continue our support as NASA extends its reach to the edge of the visible universe.
  • Interference filter providers for the Hubble Space Telescope’s WFPC2, WFPC3, and SDSS
  • Filters for hyperspectral, multispectral, and LdDAR-based mapping systems employed in Earth Observation Satellites
  • Legacy leaders in components for satellites and ground-based instruments used for Space Situational Awareness
Securing our world
From the minuscule to the monumental, our filters are integrated into a range of complex military applications from training simulators to surveillance, autonomous vehicles to wearable night-vision goggles. Omega Optical engineers know how to bring down the weight and glare while delivering the utmost in combat-ready durability and clarity.
  • Filters and Mirrors for Simulation Environments
  • Filters for Vehicle-mounted Systems
  • Filters for Wearable and Portable systems
  • Free-space Laser Communications for both military and commercial customers

Filters for use in LEO satellites

When designing systems for use in LEO (Low Earth Orbit), several very different environmental conditions need to be taken into account, including time in the ground in storage (often without heat and humidity control), the launch sequence, and the environment in which it is ultimately deployed.
