IEC INFRARED SYSTEMS LLC

IEC Infrared Systems LLC specializes in the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of precision electro-optical and industrial control systems for defense applications, with a primary focus on remote targeting engagement systems (RTES) and thermal imaging instrumentation. The company delivers mission-critical components including actuators, sensor assemblies, and enclosure systems for aerospace and electronic warfare platforms, often serving as the original equipment manufacturer for high-reliability hardware used in F-18 and T-360 platforms. Their technical expertise spans thermal camera integration, industrial process control instrumentation, and field-repairable electro-mechanical subsystems, with demonstrated proficiency in reverse engineering, spare parts production, and system-level maintenance under stringent military specifications. A key differentiator is their ability to sustain legacy defense systems through direct OEM support, ensuring operational continuity for aging avionics and sensor architectures. The contractor maintains an exclusive relationship with the Department of Defense, consistently supporting Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) divisions, particularly in cryptologic, cyber, and electronic warfare domains. Work includes supplying hardened sensor components, actuator assemblies, and diagnostic interfaces for perimeter security, target engagement, and electronic countermeasure systems, often under time-sensitive repair and spares contracts requiring rapid turnaround and strict configuration control. Industry focus centers on NAICS 334513, where they manufacture instruments for measuring and controlling industrial process variables in military contexts—specifically targeting sensing and actuation subsystems for defense platforms. Additional work in 334511 and 811310 reinforces their role as a niche supplier of aeronautical instrumentation and specialized maintenance for non-commercial military hardware. IEC Infrared Systems LLC is a small business based in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, with no formal government certifications on record. Their market positioning is defined by deep technical specialization in defense-grade electro-optical systems and sustainment of legacy military hardware, serving as a critical, low-volume, high-precision supplier within the DoD industrial base.
