HistoryFounded in 1922 by Eugene W. Fuller as Chicago Aerial Survey Company; it was later known as Chicago Aerial Industries or CAI, before changing to Recon/Optical. Originally based in Chicago, by 1960 it had moved to Barrington, Illinois, when it was visited by presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. For many years a subsidiary of Bourns, Inc., Recon/Optical was purchased by Goodrich Corporation in 2008, becoming part of Goodrich ISR Systems. Recon Optical FPT was then purchased by Electro Optic Systems Holdings (EOS Defense) in 2009[1] and the Illinois office was closed in 2012. Products/TechnologyWith its focus initially on airborne cameras (first film, then digital), Recon/Optical provided end-to-end intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, Force Protection Technology (FPT), and optical components for military and government use. It produced optic systems in the infra-red including Forward looking infrared (FLIR), and visible imaging (with haze reduction technology); in both frame and line scanning cameras. Recon/Optical also provided ground-stations to view and analyze the images being gathered by the aircraft. Using its gimbal technology for aiming and stabilizing cameras, Recon/Optical then moved into providing stabilization technology for remotely operated weapon systems.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=EOS acquires ROI, 2009|url=http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/fire/electro-optic/press1.html|publisher=Army Technology news|accessdate=22 November 2013}}{{unreliable source?|reason=domain on WP:BLACKLIST|date=August 2016}} {{US-manufacturing-company-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=ROI receives military contract in 2007|url=http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Recon_Optical_Awarded_Contract_For_Stabilized_Remotely_Operated_Weapon_Systems_999.html|publisher=Space War|accessdate=22 November 2013}} 5 : Privately held companies based in Illinois|Defense companies of the United States|Technology companies established in 1922|Companies based in Lake County, Illinois|1922 establishments in Illinois |
