Security-Critical Manufacturing
Maximum Purity for Maximum Reliability
Security-critical defence components — from night-vision devices and laser-guided systems through inertial navigation sensors to satellite payloads — fail under particle contamination. Even individual microparticles can damage precision optics, block sensors or permanently impair the reliability of highly integrated electronics.
PETEK delivers particle-controlled production environments to ISO 14644 for manufacturers of safety-relevant systems — from compact mini-environments for individual assembly processes through to fully qualified cleanrooms of class ISO 5. Our solutions are designed for the specific demands of the defence industry: high process reliability, complete documentation and maximum operational dependability.
Our Focus Areas
Cleanrooms for Safety-Relevant Systems
Precision Optics & Night Vision Systems
Night-vision devices, thermal imaging cameras and electro-optical targeting systems require particle-free assembly and alignment processes. Even the smallest dust particles on optical surfaces cause image defects and system failures. PETEK delivers ISO 5 to ISO 6 cleanrooms with low-turbulence airflow and precise climate control for reproducible results.
Guidance & Navigation Systems
Laser-guided systems, inertial navigation sensors and gyroscopic instruments demand the highest manufacturing precision in a contamination-free environment. Assembly of these high-precision components takes place in cleanrooms of class ISO 6 to ISO 7 — with strictly defined particle limits and vibration protection for sensitive mechanics.
Satellite & Space Technology Components
Satellite payloads, avionics and space sensor systems are manufactured under the strictest cleanroom conditions. A single particle of 0.3 µm diameter can permanently damage microchips and highly integrated systems. PETEK delivers ISO 5 cleanrooms with ULPA filtration and comprehensive qualification documentation for this requirements class.
Radar, Sensor & Military Electronics
Radar transmit/receive modules (T/R modules), electro-optical sensors and highly integrated electronics for weapon systems are manufactured in ESD-protected, low-particle environments. PETEK delivers ISO 7 and ISO 8 cleanrooms with antistatic equipment to IEC 61340 — matched to the specific requirements of military electronics.
Standards Expertise
Standards & Norms in the Defence Industry
Cleanrooms for the defence industry are subject to specific requirements beyond ISO 14644. PETEK knows the relevant standards and plans cleanroom solutions that meet both international norms and the individual specifications of defence companies and public sector customers.
- ISO 14644-1 & -2 — cleanroom classification and monitoring
- IEST-STD-CC1246E — product cleanliness levels (successor to MIL-STD-1246C)
- IEC 61340 — ESD protection for electrostatically sensitive assemblies
- ISO 9001 / AS 9100 — quality management systems for aerospace & defence
Typical Applications:
- → Night-vision devices & electro-optical targeting systems
