Defense applications are more demanding than any other type. That’s why mission components require durability and stable functionality above all else. Defense professionals cannot afford mission failure, or the consequences will be substantial. Therefore, optical lenses for defense applications must adhere to strict standards to [...]
An extensive range of optical components provides significant benefits in harsh aerospace, industrial, and military applications because of their high resistance to vibration, shock, temperature, and water ingress. However, the ability of lenses to survive and maintain a high level of picture quality while retaining [...]
One of the most critical devices for space exploration is the camera lens. Camera lenses allow research missions to take pictures and videos of their surroundings, which is invaluable for scientific research and public outreach. […]
NATO, Russia, and China have been engaged in a new arms race for quite a while. The top prizes now include hypersonics, railguns, and lasers. After years of study and development, not to mention billions of dollars spent, the three technologies are now finally starting [...]
Rapid explosive detection is vital to protecting lives as well as significant damage to the property. In the past, there have been a number of methods to identify explosives and prohibit them from being transported across the U.S. borders; for example, imaging and chemical identification. [...]
Tens of thousands of international travelers cross secure U.S. borders on a day to day basis, with just about every one of them carrying some sort of hand baggage. It is the duty of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to thoroughly check the [...]
Earth observation technologies are transforming how we monitor climate change, manage natural resources, and study environmental shifts.
The military is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the most vital asset of any country. A capable military represents a strong nation. As a result, most of the hi-tech innovations are devised while keeping military applications in mind. Unmanned robots are no exception. They, [...]
In June of 2001, computers all over the world were introduced to a new concept called Google Earth; or earth mapping. When launched on a computer, you start in outer space and miraculously zoom in. However, the leaders at Google Earth are quick to point out that it’s not just [...]
The military has always been at the cutting edge of technology. Some of the most advanced robots in the world are being built with military robots in mind.
