presicion metrology systemA Precision Metrology System for a Space Application

Opus has developed a system for assessing the performance of an instrument to be put into Earth orbit. The instrument comprises an actuation system that can move a 15 kilogram mass in all 6 axes. An optical system measures the movement in 5 axes to an absolute accuracy better than one percent and has a resolution 10 times greater.

A very High Resolution Target Projector

Opus staff developed a system for the projection of military targets onto large domes (~20 metre diameter). The system uses pulsed copper vapour lasers in combination with solid state image generators and scanning galvanometers to produce very high brightness TV rate images on the dome surface which allow identification of the target at projected ranges of 10km. The system is in use by the British Armed Forces and other NATO forces.
