AIRBORNE LASER/OPTICAL SENSORS
Delivering mission-critical optical and laser solutions for the U.S. Air Force’s most advanced platforms, Trident OPS specializes in supporting strategic, low-observable aircraft with high-performance airborne laser radar systems that enhance situational awareness and boost survivability.
Our expertise also drives the development of next-generation air data measurement technologies for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms—advancing guidance, navigation, and control across a wide range of mission profiles.
PROVEN AVIONICS
Trident OPS has a proven track record in flight-testing and deploying lidar technologies across a wide range of military and research platforms. Our laser radar systems have been integrated and demonstrated as standard avionics sensors on aircraft including the B-2 Bomber, NASA F-18 Systems Research Aircraft, KC-135, LearJet, King Air, and more.
Most recently, we successfully tested our Transonic Air Data System on the F-16 Falcon multirole fighter, continuing our legacy of innovation in advanced flight sensing.
LASER RADAR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
With extensive expertise designing, qualifying, manufacturing and maintaining laser-based radar for commercial and military applications, the Trident OPS team creates sensors that are affordable, small in size, weight and power, and are easy to field.
MANUFACTURING SENSORS FOR CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS
The Trident OPS team designs and manufactures compact, rugged laser radar systems built to perform in the world’s harshest environments. Our Pilot Alert System is a mission-critical component onboard every B-2 Block 30 Bomber, demonstrating the reliability and precision our systems deliver.
We produce flight-qualified avionics under AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified quality systems, and rigorously test for performance through MIL-STD-810 environmental standards, EMIC compliance, extended temperature ranges, and complex optical alignments. Our laser radar assemblies are qualified to withstand over 24 Gs of random vibration—ensuring durability in the most demanding missions.
