Product Applications

Ophir’s customized optical components are essential to the effectiveness of guided missiles, making it possible to acquire and track ground and air targets. Thanks to our advanced manufacturing technologies, we provide optical build-to-print components that enable guidance missile detection and recognition, supporting robust missile-born imaging detecting systems. Available customized missile components include domes, mirrors, Cassegrain telescopes, and more.

Ophir’s wide range of ground based thermal imaging lenses provide you with high-resolution vision and identification in harsh environmental conditions and darkness, with outstanding detection, recognition and identification (DRI) ranges. These, along with combat proven track-record, provide better intelligence for detecting and confirming threats. We deliver solutions for high precision and environmentally challenging applications, answering the strict demands of our world-wide customers, enabling today’s most advanced ground-based solution deployments, including security and surveillance, weapon sights and situational awareness.

Our lightweight, compact high-performance zoom lenses are designed specifically for use in TWS and HHTI devices. The outstanding optomechanical design of the LightIR lenses ensures that these are the lightest and most compact on the market today, while still achieving the highest levels of IR thermal imaging performance.

Ophir’s naval thermal imaging lenses give you the power to see clearly through total darkness and solar glare, as well as light fog and smoke. Used for multiple defense missions, such as navigation, collision avoidance, threat detection, surveillance, and search and rescue missions. Designed to meet the extreme environmental conditions at sea, including high humidity, sock and vibrations, saltwater and salt fog. Providing a crisp image over the full zoom range, with MTF close to the diffraction limit, and outstanding detection, recognition and identification (DRI) ranges.

Drones’ proliferation in recent century raises potential security threats to both civilian and military entities. Such threats triggered to a new, rapidly emerging Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) technologies. Its mission is to detect, identify and disable such threats. Infrared (IR) based systems, or IR imaging combined in such multi-sensor types of systems, is a prevalent technology enabling detection, identification and tracking the small unmanned aerial system (sUAS).
Ophir designs and manufactures precise, long-range IR continuous zoom lenses for integration into premier C-UAS platforms.

With a proven track-record of numerous/ thousands of deployments in the field, and partnering with leading world-wide detector manufactures, Ophir delivers the ultimate full range of long range thermal imaging zoom lenses, providing you with outstanding detection, recognition and identification (DRI) ranges, superb image quality, and accurate line-of-sight (LOS) for long-range observation systems. These lenses are ideal for surveillance and security applications, border control, critical infrastructure security, and more.

Commercial drones and quadcopters, with thermal imaging capabilities are playing a prominent role in inspecting electrical power lines and oil pipelines, forest fire detection, infrastructure security, and firefighting operations - locating and assessing fires, even when visibility is poor or in full darkness. Ophir designs and delivers the most advanced IR optical assemblies, answering the challenging requirements to create small form factor, ultra-lightweight designs and low power consumption, to improve aerial visibility, even under extreme conditions.

Withstanding harsh environmental conditions and providing long DRI ranges, Ophir’s maritime thermal imaging lenses enable clear visibility through night and day, in complete darkness, during storms, and in the brightest sunlight, keeping maritime vessels safe from unseen hazards.

Based on years of experience and cutting-edge technologies, Ophir is the worldwide leading supplier of optics for automotive night vision systems, with an installed base of hundreds of thousands of lenses, including the most advanced next generation design – the Night Vision 4 (NV4), which is suitable for 640x480 12μm pixel FPA, with high MTF performance to answer pedestrian recognition requirements.

Ophir’s infrared thermal imaging lenses help providing a quick, inexpensive, non-invasive solution, surveying crowds and immediately identifying those people with elevated skin temperature who require further investigation. Ophir’s thermal imaging lenses provides temperature readings of a wide audience thanks to wide FOV angles, at the highest precision. These field-proven lenses have been used effectively for the past two decades and were deployed successfully during the SARS pandemic.
