It produced image intensifier tubes for the U.S. military as part of Omni II (and possibly both earlier and later) contracts.
In 1991, the spinoff Intevac, Inc. was founded.[2]
In 2013, the U.S. awarded a contract to deliver Pilot Night Vision Sensors (PNVS) for the Apache helicopter to Intevac Photonics, using their patented EBAPS sensors.
The Intevac Photonics was sold to EOTECH in December 2021.[3]
