We're honored to share that Polaris Sensor Technologies has received the 2025 Global Trade Award from the North Alabama International Trade Association (NAITA)! This award highlights our team's dedication to expanding into global markets and delivering cutting-edge optical systems worldwide. In 2024, we exceeded $150,000 in export sales — and we’re on pace to top $1 million in international trade this year. Polaris Sensor Technologies was founded in 2003 in Huntsville, Alabama, and we continue to lead in the design and development of custom optical systems for military and commercial applications.A big thank you to NAITA for this recognition and to our team and partners for making it possible!

Big news from Polaris Sensor Technologies! We’ve secured a partially exclusive license to a powerful U.S. Air Force patent that unlocks new frontiers in image clarity, resolution, and target detection. This breakthrough enables us to integrate advanced polarimetric techniques—measuring the polarization of light to reveal details invisible to traditional sensors. In environments filled with smoke, fog, camouflage, or darkness, this means the difference between seeing… and missing.

We’re taking polarization to new heights with Pyxis — compact and ruggedized cameras that integrate polarization sensing with standard thermal and visible for enhanced contrast when you need it most.Perfect for ISR missions, maritime sensing, and autonomous navigation, Pyxis excels in clutter suppression and target detection — day or night. Its lightweight design is ideal for ground, sea, or air platforms, offering unparalleled versatility and intuitive operation with fused, multi-modal data for maximum situational awareness.Whether for surveillance, environmental monitoring, or target detection, our innovative imaging technology is changing the way we see the world from above. 🌍🛫

We are excited to announce that our President, David Chenault, has also assumed the role of CEO. David's extensive experience and forward-thinking approach make him uniquely qualified to guide us into an even more promising future. We look forward to the new opportunities, continued growth, and shared successes to come.
