New England Optical Systems - NEOS
Company Description
New England Optical Systems (NEOS) is engineering and manufacturing high performance infrared optical systems. NEOS is producing a variety of configurations, such as continuous zoom, dual field of view, and objective lenses. All lenses requiring motorized control make use of the advanced NEOS controller. The controller allows for precise control of focus and zoom with accurate and repeatable boresight retention.
New England Optical Systems is capable of manufacturing complex systems along with high volume production. Products can be found in applications such as Information, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) tracking, navigation, and situational awareness. Platforms include Light Armored Vehicles (LAV), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), aerospace, soldier systems and commercial. Also supportin Infrared Scene Projection, astronomical instrumentation, and optical test stations (MTF, IR interferometers) with automation.

| NEOS Awarded Dual Band Collimator Contract
MARLBOROUGH, Mass. – New England Optical Systems (NEOS) has been awarded a contract to develop a dual band, mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long wave infrared (LWIR), ambient collimator system for the Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate (AFRL/RW). The collimator will be delivered to Eglin Air Force Base in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, and installed in the Kinetic Kill Vehicle Hardware-in-the-loop Simulator (KHILS) facility. The NEOS ambient collimator will be an all refractive design which will image in both wavebands of interest.
The NEOS ambient collimator is required to test and characterize the Optimized Array for Space background IR Simulation (OASIS) 1024 infrared scene projector (IRSP). The OASIS 1024 IRSP is a state-of-the-art IRSP being developed by Santa Barbara Infrared (SBIR) to support the hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) testing of spaced based interceptors. OASIS is the only IRSP capable of operation to cryogenic temperatures, and is being developed in a 1024 x 1024 pixel format. The NEOS ambient collimator will be used during anneal to stabilize the arrays. Additionally, the collimator will be used to characterize arrays by measuring rise/fall times and droop.
NEOS is an engineering and manufacturing company of high performance optical systems, from the infrared down to visible wavebands. Additionally, they design and build custom infrared interferometers and automated MTF test stations. Prototype to production capable, they serve thermal imaging markets of surveillance, reconnaissance, tracking, navigation, LAV, UAV, aerospace, soldier systems, astronomical, and commercial.
