Syntec Secures $4M In Defense Orders

The company said the purchase orders support its participation in a range of U.S. military platforms, including missile guidance systems, compact lasers, surveillance, targeting and night-vision technologies, as well as mixed-reality situational awareness systems.

Syntec will provide critical optics for laser-guided missile systems, which are designed to enable high-accuracy strikes. The company said increased production capacity for precision-guided munition families by major defense partners has driven demand for its products used in laser-guided missile programs.

The company also received orders for opto-mechanical components used in day and night surveillance and targeting equipment, as well as specialized defense laser systems. Additional orders include wide-field-of-view aiming optical benches designed to improve target accuracy and speed.

"Securing these $4 million in orders reflects our ability to meet the rigorous demands of global combat platforms," said Matt Carey, vice president of business development at Syntec.
