Digital Vision

Extreme low light level sensors and custom solutions for military, industrial and scientific applications

Why settle for less when you can have it all?

From low-level light to true digital night vision, we give you the night-vision sensitivity you want, the choice of wavelengths you need and the very exacting custom versions you expect. Not everyone else does.

The high resolution, high frame rates, wide number of interfaces and options, as well as the low light capabilities are just a few of the many reasons why our cameras are selected for various projects around the globe.

Gain advantages that are plain to see, no matter the light

Our digital-vision technologies support surveillance and security applications, industry and research projects. They can also be integrated into systems and platforms for land, sea and air applications, including submersibles.

High-resolution, high-frame rates, wide range of interfaces and options, as well as low-light to true digital night vision capabilities are just some of the many reasons why our cameras are selected for challenging projects around the globe.


Our Intensified CMOS cameras fulfill today’s operational requirements


Their size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) high-resolution, night imagery and digital format enable:


  • Complete augmented-reality capability
  • Information overlay
  • Data fusion
  • Image enhancement and transmission
  • Superior images in day-through-night lighting conditions

This same technology can be adapted to different, non-night vision applications such as industrial non-destructive testing (NDT) and scientific imaging.


What can we do for you?


Whether you’re looking for a low-light camera core, an intensified camera, a thermal camera, a customized solution, or one of our ready-for-the-field observation devices, we’re fully committed to the success of your project. Our history of innovation began in 1942 when our facility was first opened by the US Navy for the urgent development and production of radio and microwave power tubes.

Our reputation for innovation continues today as the premier provider of high power microwave amplifiers and cutting-edge night and digital vision technologies.
