Luminit Defense Solutions:
Holographic Precision for Modern Military Systems
Luminit’s Holographic Optical Elements (HOEs) are redefining how optics are integrated into today’s advanced defense systems. With proven applications across military aviation, weapon optics, and missile guidance, our thin-film, lightweight HOEs are engineered for performance, durability, and integration flexibility. Trusted by NASA and branches of the U.S. military, Luminit’s solutions meet the evolving demands of modern warfare and defense innovation.
HOEs for Avionic and Ground Vehicles
As aircraft evolve toward sleeker, more compact platforms, every component must deliver maximum performance in a minimal footprint. Luminit HOEs enable the next generation of optical systems for military aircraft, providing lightweight and highly efficient solutions for cockpit displays and onboard sensors.
Applications:
- Heads-Up Displays (HUDs)
- Helmet-Mounted Displays (HMDs)
- Infrared (IR) cameras and sensor systems
- Laser communication and targeting modules

Key benefits
Luminit HOEs are designed for high-vibration, high-temperature environments typical of military aircraft. Their passive nature eliminates the need for electrical power, improving system reliability under extreme conditions.
Lightweight & ultra-thin form factor reduces payload and supports fuel efficiency.
Customizable wavelength control allows optimization for IR, visible, or laser light.
Conformal integration with curved surfaces like visors and domes enables seamless cockpit design.

HOEs for Gun Sights and Weapon Optics
Modern combat optics demand more than just precision; they require ruggedization, flexibility, and real-time responsiveness. Luminit HOEs are at the core of next-generation holographic weapon sights (HWS), providing enhanced visual targeting even in fast-moving and unpredictable environments.
Applications
Holographic weapon sights with custom reticle designs
Augmented reality (AR) scopes with data overlays
Laser alignment and targeting systems
Simulation and training optics
Key Benefits:
- Parallax-free targeting ensures accuracy regardless of eye position.
- No moving parts for increased durability and field reliability.
- High visibility and sharp reticle contrast in varying light or weather conditions.
Our HOEs allow for complex reticle projections tailored to operator needs, making them ideal for special forces, tactical teams, and advanced rifle systems. Their rugged design performs consistently across a wide range of combat scenarios.

HOEs for Missile and Targeting Systems
Missile systems present some of the harshest optical design constraints; space, weight, power, and survivability are all critical. Luminit HOEs meet these demands with thin, passive optics that can perform advanced beam shaping, guidance filtering, and target data projection within compact seeker heads and launch platforms.

Applications
HUDs for pre-launch targeting and situational awareness
Seeker optics for infrared or laser-guided missiles
Beam shaping and steering for laser communication
Environmental sensing for in-flight data analysis
Key Benefits:
- Compact and lightweight optics reduce system drag and enhance payload efficiency.
- Wavelength-selective diffraction supports precision laser or IR targeting.
- Passive optical operation ensures performance in high-vibration and high-heat environments.
Luminit HOEs help engineers simplify complex optical paths within missile systems, reduce power requirements, and maintain optical fidelity in mission-critical moments.
