Vertically Integrated Optics and Assembly Solutions

• Texas-based, vertically integrated defense optics manufacturer
• 93,000 sq. ft. secure manufacturing campus
• Thin-film coating + precision assembly under one roof
• Designed-in reliability, not bolt-on fixes
• Proven at scale, trusted in combat

50,000+ periscopes delivered with 0% warranty claims

This is not marketing. This is manufacturing discipline.

• Multi-layer laser interference filters
• ENVG & next-generation sensor protection
• Custom wavelength rejection for directed-energy threats
• Protection of human vision, CMOS/CCD sensors, and IR systems
• Diamond-Like Coatings (DLC) applied to optical and non-optical substrates for:
  • Extreme abrasion resistance
  • Chemical durability
  • Reduced reflection and signature

Positioning:

Optex doesn’t just transmit light—we decide what survives it.

• Laser-protected periscopes & vision blocks
• Optical cells, eyepieces, objective lens sets
• High-definition imaging assemblies
• Night vision & thermal integration
• Tight-tolerance metal-glass alignment
• Ruggedized assemblies for shock, vibration, and thermal cycling

Platforms Served:

• Abrams
• Bradley
• Stryker / LAV
• AMPV
• M10 Booker
• Naval and artillery systems

Optex has redefined the periscope from a passive viewing device into a protected optical gateway.

• Laser-protected turret & driver periscopes
• Embedded sensor compatibility
• Growth path to digitized, networked, and autonomous platforms
• Designed for manned → unmanned → optionally crewed systems

Periscopes are no longer windows. They are survivable optical nodes.

Optex’s coating and assembly expertise directly translates to:

• Drone optics & EO/IR sensor protection
• Space-grade optical subassemblies
• Radiation-resistant coatings
• Lightweight, high-durability optical housings
• Optical payload protection for contested environments

Strategic Shift:

From “vehicle optics supplier” → multi-domain optical defense partner
