Custom Microsystems for Prime Defense Contractors

MPS Microsystems designs and manufactures miniaturized actuation and optomechanical subsystems for aerospace and defense platforms where SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) constraints are tight and precision is critical. Our building blocks include control-actuation systems for fin control, ultra-compact fin actuators (<100 g, <0.1° rms backlash), high-stability lens positioners with ≤1–2 µm lateral deviation, and plug-and-play linear actuators delivering up to 400 N. Those devices are powered by our own miniature ball screws (Ø4–8 mm, axial play <5 µm) and zero stick-slip linear bearings (Ø2–6 mm).

We take programs from concept to series production with in-house prototyping (CNC, EDM, grinding), ISO 5/7 micro-assembly, and ISO 9001/13485/14001 quality, validating performance under vibration, temperature, and environmental stress. The result: compact, robust, integration-ready modules that hold alignment and deliver repeatable motion in the harshest of environments.
