Is awesome. It's exactly the same thing I was doing at my last job (and have been doing for the last 12 years), so I'm real comfortable in the lab already.

We are a small optics company owned by Wescam.
We make optical components and devices for inteligence, reconnaissance and surveilance.

See the optics on the front of the Predator UAV? Thats one of them. Others go on helicopters, fighters, bombers and ships.
Not only is it a cool job, we make cool stuff.

oh yeah, I also used to make the optics for that laser guided missle on the wing.

One of my professors worked on the infrared imaging systems on the F-14 when she was in the military. She had some cool stories about some of the problems they ran into with it.

We made the heads up displays for the F-14's. That was cool too.
We also had a fully operational Abrahms M1 tank IR, night vision and visible periscope set up to show the US military brass when they would come and visit.

Arent you violating some kind of NDA by telling us this? What are you trying to do, get us all killed!?!?!?

I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.

I would just like to note, for any FBI/CIA/NSA/military agents who are now reading this thread, that I have not read anything in it, and that I am a good, law-abiding, tax-paying American citizen. Thank you, Big Brother, that is all. Nothing to see here. Move along.

(Pssst... that's really cool. I like the Predator. )

I'll admit to Reactor CTF, Duel Abyss, Duel Turbulent, Duel Dustball, and even the CCCP, but not Sky High! (my first, be kind!) Ok so maybe I will.

So, how quickly can you read someone's wristwatch with those optics systems?
