Military Electro Optical / Infra-Red (EO/IR) Market
Forecast 2014-2024: Top Companies Enhancing ISR
For Ground, Naval, Airborne & UAV Platforms
7. Expert Opinion ____
7.1 Cassidian Optronics: Ralf Klädtke, CEO
Cassidian Optronics GmbH develops, designs and produces state-of-the-art optronic devices for
military, security and civilian applications. They offer optronic products for land, air, sea and space
missions for a broad range of platforms, from submarines through armoured vehicles to airplanes
and satellites.
Visiongain would like to thank Cassidian Optronics for their contribution to this report.
7.1.1 Developing State-Of-The-Art Optronic, Optical and Precision-
Engineering Products For More Than 120 Years
Visiongain: Please can you provide an overview of Cassidian Optronics and the main optronics
solutions that you provide?
Ralf Klädtke: Since more than 120 years Cassidian Optronics designs, develops and produces
state-of-the-art optronic, optical and precision-engineered products for military, civilian and security
applications with around 800 employees in Oberkochen and Wetzlar, in Irene, South Africa, in
Brazil's Belo Horizonte and in the Algerian Sidi Bel Abbes. We offer optronic products for land, air,
sea and space missions for a broad range of platforms, from submarines through armoured
vehicles to airplanes and satellites. They are used to monitor, identify and classify, as well as for
precise measurement, evaluation and targeting. We are proud to supply our combat-proven
systems to the world's leading security and military forces. Our systems provide fast, detailed
reconnaissance for border security as well as critical infrastructures worldwide.
Since October 2012 the former Carl Zeiss Optronics has combined its optical and optronic
precision technology with the know-how of Airbus Defence and Space as a global leader in the
defence and security technology. From October 2014 Cassidian Optronics will become 100
percent part of the Airbus Group and will be renamed Airbus DS Optronics GmbH. This name
change bears no significance for our suppliers and customers, as we will continue to supply the
same high quality products and services.
