Defence and Security Systems

Defence systems rely heavily on photonics for secure communications, surveillance, and sensing. Proximion’s custom microwave photonic filters enable frequency-agile radar and electronic warfare systems by shaping and tuning RF responses in the optical domain.

In quantum key distribution (QKD) and secure optical links, our dispersion management modules extend quantum communication range, supporting encryption-grade transmission over fiber networks.

Optical coherence and laser amplification modules also play a role in directed-energy research, target illumination, and long-range optical communication.

Across all defence applications, Proximion’s technology delivers bespoke solutions that offer spectral purity, timing precision, and environmental resilience. Proximion also offers solutions for the ultra-fast monitoring of optical network channels and performance.

Relevant applications:

Microwave photonic filters, time-delay beamforming chirped FBGs, optical layer monitors, QKD spectral optimization.

Examples:

  • Radar systems — true-time-delay beamforming and adaptive photonic filtering.
  • Secure communications — quantum key distribution networks with extended reach. WISTOM for network monitoring.
  • Surveillance systems — optical sensing networks for perimeter or vibration detection.
  • Directed-energy and laser-based targeting — chirped FBGs for stretching and compression.
