Raytheon ELCAN Optical Technologies - FEA Predictive DesignDuring more than 60 years of bringing mission-critical defense andaerospace programs to market, Raytheon ELCAN OpticalTechnologies has developed a suite of highly efficient, verticallyintegrated, precision design and manufacturing capabilities. Thesecapabilities include FEA (finite element analysis) predictive designfor optical assemblies.

Methods for using FEA and optical performance predictiveanalysis are evolving, primarily in response to Aerospace anddefense applications (including UAS/UAV, missile, tactical andairborne applications) where demanding needs exist. Thesedemanding applications require reliability, repeatability, extremeaccuracy and weight savings under conditions of temperatureswings, vibrations, shock, and pressure differentials, as well asthermal inputs including laser.

FEA applied during the design stage can predict the physics of thecurrent design, under these conditions and others. Thesepredictions and concurrent re-design leads towards the optimalsolutions by testing components and optical performance beforemanufacturing processes have been initiated, and well beforein-flight tests. By being included early in the design phase, as partof the Integrated Product Team, Raytheon ELCAN can design high quality imaging devices, used in a wide variety ofenvironments and conditions. This approach shortens product deployment cycle times and produces world class,cost-effective and advanced optical assemblies sooner.

Having all these capabilities managed by one customer-focused Integrated Product Team, Raytheon ELCAN OpticalTechnologies allows the design and prototype phase to benefit from years of production and assembly experience, and themost up to date design capabilities, including FEA predictive design for optical assemblies.
