Meeting Unique Project Requirements

As a leading provider of specialized optical systems, our team develops optics solutions tailored to the unique requirements of your industry. While we work with customers in a diverse range of industries, some of the most common applications of high-performance UAS optics include:

  • Mapping and surveying. In agriculture, precision optics are used to create detailed maps that can help ensure efficient land usage. They can also be used to monitor crop health and water stress, improving cop yields and reducing water and pesticide use.
  • Surveillance and search and rescue operations. In military and defense applications, unmanned aerial systems equipped with precision optics are used for gathering real-time intelligence to ensure national security and support search-and-rescue efforts.
  • Inspection and maintenance. Private and government entities alike also use unmanned aerial systems to inspect infrastructure like power lines, roads, bridges, and pipelines to streamline maintenance and repairs.

Ensuring Performance in the Field

At OSE Optics, we specialize in providing custom optical design, prototyping, and manufacturing services to ensure optimal performance in the field. Our team works closely with each customer to develop solutions that account for the following:

  • Spectral requirements. The types of cameras and sensors needed for a UAS will depend heavily on the application. We work with each customer to determine their needs and help them choose the right lenses, filters, and coatings for their application.
  • Environmental exposure. When engineering optical systems, we will also take environmental exposure into account. UAS optics need to be able to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, shock, vibration, and pressure changes while still ensuring performance and efficiency.
  • Weight and size. To ensure efficiency, maneuverability, and maximum performance, UAS optics must be designed to be compact and lightweight while maintaining durability.
