Who we are and what we offer.
 

CARL ZEISS OPTRONICS:
The first stop in optronics.

Carl Zeiss Optronics designs, develops and produces state-of-the-art optronic instruments for military and civilian applications. They are used to monitor, identify and classify, as well as for precise measurement, evaluation and targeting.

As a subsidiary of the globally recognized Carl Zeiss Group, we are armed with years of experience and know-how in optronics, highly accurate optics and precision engineering.

Research and development are very important to us. We are one of the leading developers and manufactures of optical and optronic systems.

With business activities in more than 30 countries, Carl Zeiss Optronics is an ideal partner for multinational projects. We are continually expanding our international activities beyond existing co-operations and partnerships.

MORE THANT MEETS THE EYE.
Make the right decision.

Carl Zeiss Optronics systems for land, sea and air forces, as well as for national security organizations are known for their innovative technology. They are custom tailored to operational and logistic requirements. Comprehensive documentation, intensive training and, of course, service throughout the entire lifecycle ensure long-term operational readiness.
