Ensuring the reliability of optronic and electronic systems in harsh operational environments
Optronic and electronic defense systems (sights, sensors, guidance systems, onboard equipment) are subjected to extreme stresses: vibrations, shocks, corrosive atmospheres, surface pollution, and accelerated material aging.
Even a microscopic material failure can lead to performance loss, functional drift, or operational unavailability.
Needs of optronics and defense electronics manufacturers
Manufacturers rely on materials expertise when they need to:
- Understand the origin of an electronic or optical malfunction
- Identify invisible surface contamination impacting accuracy or reliability
- Qualify a surface treatment or critical surface condition
- Analyze an adhesion or bonding defect after testing
- Verify material conformity with regulatory and program requirements
- Intervene quickly after a field failure without destroying the assembly
