Applications
Defense Avionics Systems
Network speeds of 100 Gbps and higher are a requirement in modern systems. OptoXtreme transceivers deliver higher signal integrity and consume less power compared to copper alternatives at these higher digital data rates.
Reconnaissance Video Surveillance
OptoXtreme transceivers meet the requirements of emerging designs in which high-speed, high-definition (HD) images are used for take-off and landing.
Radar Systems
Instant access to accurate and complete mission-critical radar data is essential for accurate situational awareness and effective responses. With OptoXtreme transceivers, the risk that mission-critical radar data will be slow, unreliable, or incomplete is significantly minimized.
Missile-detection and Counter-measure Systems
Infrared (IR) technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) are used in modern systems to quickly and accurately detect the IR signature of missiles and notify pilots so they can initiate or approve the appropriate response. The high digital data transfer speed and signal integrity of optical vs. copper, such as with OptoXtreme transceivers, is essential to mission success in these applications.
