Applications
Brandstrom Instruments supplies highly reliable shutters and flag mechanisms to virtually all major aerospace, defense and scientific instrumentation companies. Our products are designed to be MIL STD 810 G compliant and several of our designs have undergone and successfully completed independent operational and user testing.
Brandstrom Instruments was chosen by a major prime contractor to design and produce a shutter assembly for their 320 x 240 situational awareness thermal imaging system. 
Brandstrom Instruments' products can be found inside many high performance thermal imaging cameras, uncooled and cooled, providing internal focal uniformity references (NUC shutters). Brandstrom is also embedded in systems requiring automated chromatic filters, laser barriers, aircraft instrument warning flags and many other military applications.
Military applications include weapon sights, surveillance (air and ground), and driver and situational viewers. For scientific purposes, Brandstrom products are found in calibrated and un-calibrated optronic systems whenever precise internal references, filters and barriers are embedded in the optical path.
Introduction of our solenoid-actuated devices into client products provides design engineers with a scaleable technical baseline that is capable of evolving as their product adapts to market driven changes.
