Syntec Optics, a scientific and technical instruments, and aerospace and defense supplier that, over the past two decades, enabled polymer optics for missile laser guides and extremely wide field of view light-weight augmented reality head-mounted display for military pilots, announced today that it has been awarded a contract for 10,000 objectives for night vision scopes to be delivered in 2023. Syntec Optics previously announced the launch of new light-weight eyepiece and objective lenses for night vision goggles, called Viper.
"I am delighted our customer has recognized Syntec Optics as the best solution provider for its night vision optics requirements. This order is a testament to the excellent work performed by our engineers and operations team collaborating together since the beginning of the year,” said Syntec Optics CEO Joe Mohr.
“This contract win highlights Syntec Optics’ ability to secure other contracts from our customer, helping to consolidate their spend in these areas with one high-performing provider,” said Program Manager Richard Swartz.
It is estimated that by 2027, the global market size for image intensifiers used in night vision goggle systems will be nearly one billion dollars; the eyepiece and objective optics combine with these to form the goggle.
"Syntec Optics is continuing to apply high-performance imaging solutions used in the night vision product to other scope markets for further growth,” said Jim Olson, industry expert and Syntec Optics VP of Advanced Optics Systems.
