Zettlex inductive technology is well suited to the defense sector’s particular demands for precision and reliability in tough conditions. Similarly, our organization is designed to satisfy the defense sector’s requirements for high levels of quality assurance, long term support and confidentiality. Importantly, Zettlex products are not ITAR controlled and contain no ITAR components. Standard Zettlex IncOders do not normally require an export license unless they are >1000mm diameter or <1 arc-second accuracy. Zettlex products have a solid track record with defense equipment in daily operation on land, sea and air.
