Aerospace & Defense

Where performance, reliability and safety must align

Market challenge

  • Aerospace systems and defense platforms operate in extreme environments — high vibration, thermal shock, altitude, pressure — leaving no room for sensor drift or failure.
  • From engine development to flight validation, data must be precise, robust, and often captured without physical contact.
  • There’s growing demand for compact, airworthy sensing systems that integrate easily in confined or inaccessible areas — including gun barrels and embedded weapons
  • Durability and repeatability are key in applications such as internal gun barrel inspection, where geometry and wear need to be monitored to ensure firing safety and optimize maintenance cycles.
  • Defense systems must also meet stringent reliability, traceability, and qualification standards over decades of use.

Our expertise

FOGALE Sensors brings decades of experience in delivering high-precision, contactless measurement systems tailored to the demands of aerospace and defense missions.

Our solutions are:

  • Non-contact and highly stable, even under vibration, temperature shifts or EMI
  • Compact, rugged and portable, ideal for embedded platforms and tight spaces like barrels and air ducts
  • Adapted to both development test benches and embedded airborne platforms
  • Designed to help OEMs and system integrators meet safety, performance, and innovation goals

Proven applications

  • Validate engine or structural performance with high-resolution data from the earliest design stages
  • Ensure readiness and reduce mission risk with durable, zero-maintenance sensing solutions
  • Detect wear and drift early to reduce downtime and maintenance budgets
  • Embed inspection tools in constrained areas, including rotating parts or internal bore structures
  • Leverage a sensor partner trusted across major aerospace and defense OEMs and programs
