about us 

In 1916, Kollmorgen, a small optical company in Brooklyn, New York was contracted to design, build and install the first workable periscope aboard the first U.S. submarine. For more than ninety years, Kollmorgen has remained devoted to high-accuracy, stabilized, electro-optical systems for defense.

Kollmorgen employs a full spectrum of engineering and manufacturing disciplines to design a variety of sensor and weapon systems for submarines, surface ships, combat vehicles, and other defense platforms.

With facilities in Massachusetts and Vermont in the US as well as Milan, Florence and Bologna, Italy, Kollmorgen is an experienced developer of integrated and stabilized, high-performance optronic sensor, antenna, masts and weapon control systems for defense applications. Kollmorgen has the capability to accept any electro-optical or motion control challenge and then design to it, build it, test it, and stand behind it. Kollmorgen provides a wide range of technical capabilities for:

• Motion control and stabilized systems
• Imaging and display
• User Interface
• Packaging for harsh environments

Our customer focus underscores our working with U.S. and international customers to define their needs, understand their unique technical requirements and set up local support.

From the first submarine periscope to the latest optronic sensors, Kollmorgen continues to translate design excellence into fielded products. Kollmorgen produces the systems that enable you to look, to see, and to control the leading edge of integrated imaging systems.
