Company Overview

CI Systems specializes in infrared (IR) and electro-optical (EO) test and measurement solutions used to characterize, calibrate, and qualify defense sensors, thermal cameras, and military optics. The company provides turnkey test stations and custom measurement systems for defense labs and manufacturers worldwide.

The company is privately held and based in Migdal HaEmek, Israel. CI Systems serves as a critical supplier to the global defense EO/IR supply chain, with systems deployed at major defense contractors, military test labs, and national research centers.

Dual-use relevance is moderate: while primarily serving defense sensor development, the same IR measurement technology is used for industrial process monitoring, environmental sensing, and aerospace optics qualification.
