Precision Optics Corporation, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced optical instruments for the medical and defense/aerospace industries, today announced the receipt of a product development order to design and build a next generation borescope system to be used to inspect the inside of jet engines from a large aerospace and defense company.

The system involves the development of a high-end, small-diameter borescope designed in multiple configurations to measure critical components inside jet engines in the field. It will deliver greater-than-1080p HD resolution performance and is engineered to withstand the extreme environmental conditions found within advanced jet engines.

The initial $678,000 development order was received following an extensive assessment by the customer including an onsite supplier evaluation day where POC was evaluated against three other potential supplier finalists.

“We are extremely pleased to have been awarded this important order for a high-end borescope used in jet engine inspection,” commented Joe Forkey, CEO of Precision Optics. “This win represents another strong validation of the growing opportunities we are seeing across the Defense and Aerospace sectors. Our ability to deliver the entire image train—from advanced optical design to precision mechanical engineering and fully integrated electronic systems—continues to differentiate us in a market that demands uncompromising performance and reliability.”

“We believe that our proven capabilities, demonstrated through the Unity platform and a series of successful products already deployed, played a meaningful role in securing this order. Our team passed through a rigorous and highly competitive supplier evaluation process, and we are proud to have emerged as the chosen partner. This achievement reflects the dedication, expertise, and innovation of POC, and positions us well for additional opportunities in the future.”
