Since our company’s founding in 1986, we have pioneered the development of second- and third-generation MCT IR detectors, and secured a vast product portfolio of scanning and staring arrays that covers the entire infrared spectrum using MCT, Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIP) or Microbolometer technology platforms.
Defense and security equipment manufacturers, worldwide, purchase our high-grade IR detectors for application in thermal imagers, missile seekers, and other surveillance, targeting and homing infrared equipment. Sofradir is the No. 1 supplier in Europe, and holds the No. 2 ranking, worldwide, for cooled MCT second-generation IR detector units delivered.
In addition, Sofradir holds a unique position in Europe as the only company to have developed, qualified and deployed space-grade second generation IR detectors. Working in close cooperation with national space agencies and companies worldwide, Sofradir’s MCT IR detectors today observe deep space, observe Earth, monitor the environment, and provide data on meteorological phenomena.
