Sensors and measuring systems for military applications

Modern defence systems require innovative technologies. Many of these technically sophisticated systems in the military rely on sensors, not only in the research and development phase, but also during use in the field.

As a rule, the sensors must be designed to be very robust and function in particularly harsh environments, for example in extreme temperature ranges or under the influence of shocks, vibrations, moisture, dust and dirt. To ensure maximum safety, all products must also deliver the most accurate and reliable measured values possible - so that quick and objective decisions can be made.

Althen offers a comprehensive portfolio of sensor solutions for land, air, sea and space-based applications. Our sensors are suitable for the most demanding environments and are already being used successfully by several well-known manufacturers in the industry.
