Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Systems play an increasing role in defense, security, and monitoring from aircraft, land vehicles and shipboard systems. These systems must provide smooth, error free movement in the azimuth and elevation axes. When these critical systems need high-performance motion, today’s EO/IR OEMs rely on Kollmorgen.

The ability to respond quickly to incoming threats depends on real-time accuracy and high image resolution. And the accuracy and resolution of these images depends on the size of the antenna and the ability to position it with continuous and unfailing precision.

Naval vessels are becoming more sophisticated and the roles they fulfill are expanding. Advanced systems for weapon targeting, threat detection, surveillance and ship-board automation are just a few application examples that are keeping military personnel safe while helping them perform more effectively at sea.
