Company Profile

In the Defense and Civil Systems division Jenoptik combines electrics/electronics and mechatronics with laser sensor systems, optics and optoelectronics within complex components, systems and facilities. It focuses on the areas of ground-based observation platforms for intelligence gathering und reconnaissance as well as military and civil vehicle and aircraft equipment: generation and supply of electrical energy, stabilization technology for weapons and optoelectronic sensors, radomes for military aircrafts well as composite structure elements for civil aircrafts, and additionally, mechatronic components and subsystems. In the laser and infrared sensor systems area the focus is on the development, manufacturing and marketing of laser distance measurement equipment and infrared camera systems for different applications.

The CHM 15k laser ceilometer of Jenoptik measures simultaneously cloud base height, boundary layer height and vertical visibility. With an operating range of up to 15 kilometers it is the first commercial LIDAR instrument able to reliably and routinely detect multi-cloud layers and high-lying cirrus clouds with low backscatter coefficients. The low-maintenance sensor is designed to work autonomously in all meteorological and climatological applications. The CHM 15k ceilometer is configured and controlled by an intuitive command set. The measurement data can be individually evaluated with the help of three different data telegrams.
Additional software modules are available for data recording and analysis (JO-DataClient) and graphical visualisation of backscatter data (JO-Visual).

Further meteorological products, like e.g. sensors for visibility, snow height and water level are under development, but already available for demonstrations.
