Emcore has also supplied rate gyros, fiber optic gyroscopes, and laser diodes to prime contractors such as Raytheon Company, Lockheed Martin Corp, and BAE Systems for various defense projects. The company's products have been utilized in naval systems, aerospace applications, and electronic warfare. Notable prime contract awards include the procurement of inertial measurement units for the U.S. Navy, fiber optic transmitters for the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, and radio frequency over fiber equipment for NOAA. As a subcontractor, Emcore has provided components for major defense programs, including navigation systems for missile guidance, aircraft systems, and other defense platforms. While some contracts were set aside for small businesses, indicating Emcore's status as a small business in certain categories, others were open to all offerors. The company's participation as both a prime contractor and a subcontractor to major defense firms underscores its importance in the defense and aerospace supply chain.
