In an increasingly complex world, the human eye is unable to meet the optical demands of our society. In disciplines as diverse as medicine, electronics, advertising, transportation, and space exploration, advanced optical systems are critical. Today, sophisticated optical products are helping doctors to make better diagnoses, helping engineers to create faster and better computers, and even helping researchers unlock the mysteries of the universe. Advanced optical technology is being used to better our lives in countless ways.
Our world has regrettably also become more dangerous. Wars, and increasingly threats from terrorism, are unfortunate but unavoidable realities. In response to these risks, governments and corporations are demanding advanced optical systems that can minimize combat casualties in war, prevent terrorist attacks, and even locate terrorists. Advanced weaponry such as unmanned combat vehicles and smart munitions depend heavily on optical systems to reduce unnecessary loss of life. Similarly, optical surveillance solutions such as thermal cameras and space-based telescopes are relentless sentries against terrorist threats.
Technologies from Axsys are critical to meeting these challenges. Sophisticated lenses, imagers, and telescopes, and the ultra-precise motion systems that control them, are designed and manufactured by Axsys for use in a broad array of both government and commercial applications. Axsys innovations are enabling an increasingly optical world.
