If you design and build motion systems for use in aircraft or on the battlefield, one overriding principle drives everything you do: Failure is not an option. Surveillance, defense and weapons systems need to respond instantly, accurately and reliably, 100 percent of the time, even under the harshest conditions and most demanding duty cycles.

These systems must also meet requirements of weight, size, efficiency, and performance that go far beyond the needs of typical industrial solutions. Kollmorgen solutions are anything but typical. They’re designed to prevail, by land, sea or air. That’s why, since the founding of our business, we’ve always been a leading motion supplier to aerospace and defense contractors.

Electro-optical/Infrared Systems

Electro-optical/Infrared Systems

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.
