MMTS Tracking a Hydra Rocket

Here is the latest video set from Redstone Arsenal showing the high dynamic performance of the Photo-Sonics Mobile Multi-Spectral Tracking System (MMTS).

The tests clearly show that the MMTS can acquire 6DOF data of a
high-velocity projectile from moment of launch until impact. The
video concludes with a screenshot of the post-processing in progress.

News Release

U.S. Army Prototyping New Optical Tracking Systems.

On August 22, 2025, Photo-Sonics, Inc. successfully demonstrated two ARTIS Close-In prototypes at U.S. Army White Sands Missile Range. This demonstration effort involved robust environmental heat, cold, rain and vibration tests along with dynamically tracking small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAS) and small rockets over a four-month period. The U.S. Army is satisfied with the Close-In prototype’s performance which will enable Photo-Sonics, Inc. to negotiate a sole-source follow-on production contract with the U.S. Army.

Celebrating 100 years of business in… 1925 to 2025

Photo-Sonics focuses on two principle business activities: Optical Tracking System and gimbal mounts and
head-Up-Display (HUD) and airborne cameras.

Tracking Systems
Photo-Sonics designs and manufactures optical tracking systems and gimbals used in a variety of applications
including the test and evaluation of weapons and directed energy applications. From the earliest days on the U.S.
Test Ranges, Photo-Sonics has been delivering optical tracking systems known for their high performance, reliability,
and versatility. Notably, we are the world leaders in state-of-the-art Time-Space-Position-Information (TSPI) systems
used to gather data for engineering analysis and documentation. Photo-Sonics offers complete integration services
commissioning, and operator training for these systems. We conduct sales to the defense communities around
the world.

HUD Cameras
Photo-Sonics also designs and manufactures Head-Up Display (HUD) cameras for fighter aircraft. The HUD camera
is a critical component for training pilots and to document the engagement of opposing aircraft.
