Success Story
Project Aviation Antenna
Overview
Modern air travel means internet access at cruising altitude. The system that provides it needs extremely precise azimuth and elevation positioning. What makes it difficult is the combination of tight installation space and weight limits with the demanding environmental conditions of take-off, flight and landing.
Development
IBO developed extremely thin-walled parts using its own clamping technology, and found a way to connect system components with an atypical geometry. We also achieved extremely low frictional torques. As a result, the system can establish and hold a high-precision link to the satellites.
Result
Our lightweight solution helps reduce fuel consumption. IBO components are installed in almost every commercial Learjet in the world.

Project Lynx
One component of the Main Sensory Slaved Armament (MSSA) is the stabilized electro-optical sensor system (SEOS). The bearings it uses are characterized by high rigidity and by consistent accuracy in both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, because at a firing range of several kilometers every thousandth of a degree of deviation matters.

Project RCH155 - FLW 100
Experience from the war in Ukraine has shown that artillery is an essential capability. We worked on the development of the most modern artillery system available — the first gun able to fire on the move.

Project XM30
This project is a flagship program for the OEM and continues IBO's work on the Lynx project. It is again a Main Sensory Slaved Armament (MSSA) system. The overall system is intended for the American market, so the project volume is much larger.

Project Skyranger 30
Changed conditions in the field of operations call for a close- and short-range protection system to defend against drones and protect troop movements. Such a system must combine high forces with maximum precision.
