We are here for all your commercial off the shelf metrology needs.
Since its founding in 1981, Spectron Engineering has developed many solutions for many optical measuring needs from civil dam structures and agricultural monitoring to fighter plane displays. If you have questions about a previously used product that is not listed here, or would like to talk with our engineering team about a custom solution, please visit the contact tab above.
Spectron has worked with a variety of clients from the USAF, their primary contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, as well as private companies and smaller government agencies on custom metrology solutions.
Dam Flex Measuring Systems
Through the 1990’s Spectron worked with the Bureau of Reclamation to develop a dam movement sensing system. This system measured the movement of the pump in the dam in 7 seconds and dormant. Before these systems were implemented, this was a dangerous manual process that took an engineer 2 weeks underground to take all of the required measurements by hand.
Fighter Planes (F-15/F-16)
Spectron has created many different solutions for the USAF fighter jets. Currently, Spectron provides the systems used to calibrate the Heads-up-Display (HUD) on the F-15 and the Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) on the F-18 with the DASH system. Spectron equipment exists anywhere these planes fly around the world.
Spectroradiometers
For many years, Spectron was the leading US supplier of Spectroradiometers. These devices have been used to analyze the wave lengths of light everywhere from agricultural farms to the arctic circle.
