Optical Sciences was founded in 1995 and became a division of Valkyrie Enterprises in August 2025. Optical Sciences primarily manufactures custom optical and infrared sensor test equipment, develops specialized high-frequency high bandwidth, data acquisition systems, and custom acquisition and analysis software. It provides high-quality technical and engineering support services to the U.S. Army, NASA, and private aerospace and defense corporations.

Apex Optics was founded to provide training and support for fiber optic applications in the harsh environment. And to provide custom products, tooling, test equipment, and the additional training if needed to successfully implement these systems. Industries, such as petrochemical, mining, security, and many others are poised to harness the full potential of fiber optics to carry broadband data and exploit its unique capabilities as a sensing element for the detection of temperature, pressure acoustic, and other measurements in ways that were formerly impossible. Although the technologies to perform these tasks are well known and have been demonstrated to be an invaluable asset to industry, the engineering to integrate them into specific applications has not kept pace. In general, fiber optic companies have not seen the volume needed to justify the development and testing of custom designed cables connectors and support electronics to bring them to market. Apex Optics thrives in this environment and delights in finding solutions that integrate into its client's own equipment rather than the client having to adapt to standard offerings. The founders of Apex Optics are veterans in the harsh environment equipment industry and wish to increase industry acceptance of these technologies by bringing their experience to bear in the development of custom fiber optic products and sharing their knowledge through application driven training.
