Aerospace & Defense Optics

Precision Optics for Harsh Environments

Reynard Corporation has been a key supplier of precision optics and thin-film coatings to the Aerospace & Defense Industry since 1984. We understand mission critical requirements and the importance of designing and developing custom precision optics for stringent environments.

Aerospace and defense optics are essential components in a multitude of applications critical to national security and exploration. In aerospace, optics are integral to guidance systems, satellite imaging, and remote sensing technologies, enabling precise navigation, Earth observation, and weather monitoring. In defense, optics play a crucial role in surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting systems, providing military forces with the ability to detect threats, gather intelligence, and engage with precision. Technologies such as infrared imaging, lidar, and high-energy lasers are continually advancing to enhance situational awareness, counter emerging threats, and support missions in challenging environments. Aerospace and defense optics represent a convergence of cutting-edge engineering, physics, and materials science, driving innovation at the forefront of technological capability and strategic advantage.

Custom aerospace and defense optic from prototypes to volume production are available.
