Tough Military Fiber Optics
That Can Meet All Applicable Mil Specs

The military specifies the smallest, lightest, toughest, highest performance equipment in the world—equipment that must perform flawlessly anywhere on the planet. Rising to that challenge, INCOM produces fiber optic components that can meet all applicable mil specs and have helped the U.S. Armed Forces advance missions using night vision systems, head-up displays, and cockpit displays.

Nearly 65,000 U.S. Army Abrams tanks use INCOM fused fiber optic tapers to view intensified images, allowing tank drivers to maintain daytime visual acuity at night. Our fiber optic faceplates make heads-up displays (HUDs) better, allowing pilots to multitask in the most sophisticated fighting aircraft in the world. INCOM’s contributions to military systems protect soldiers and advance missions in the most perilous and demanding environments.

Fused Fiber Optic Components Support Homeland Security Challenges

Homeland security teams have a difficult task – to detect and provide warning before a bioterrorism or radioactive attack occurs. INCOM’s fiber optic products, such as fiber optic faceplates and image inverters, help accomplish this task by enhancing the performance, speed, and sensitivity of sensor systems that can accurately locate and characterize chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive threats.

Physical intrusion detection and sensing systems must operate at night and under adverse conditions to protect our facilities and borders. INCOM’s fused fiber optics make many state-of-the-art night vision systems possible and offer benefits instrumental in the development of new intruder detection and denial systems.

The homeland security marketplace uses advanced fiber optic components for night vision systems, heads-up displays (HUDs), portable X-ray equipment, portable radiation detectors, biometric identity solutions, and bioterrorism-sensing equipment. INCOM makes these fiber optic components to save lives and help remove the vulnerability to terrorism.


Incom has supported 20 years of U.S. superiority in night warfare.


Portable X-ray equipment using fiber optic components brings security systems where they are needed.
