What Infinition does
Infinition Inc. is a privately held Canadian instrumentation company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Trois-Rivières, Quebec (2965 rue des Prairies, G8V 1W4). The company designs, manufactures, and sells Doppler radar systems and supporting hardware/software used to measure projectile velocities for ballistic testing applications, serving defense contractors and military R&D facilities, body armor and protective equipment testing laboratories, ammunition manufacturers, law enforcement and forensic labs, and shooting ranges. A consumer sub-brand, Labradar, extends the technology to personal ballistic measurement for recreational shooters.
The product portfolio spans 10 GHz (X-Band) and 35 GHz (Ka-Band) continuous-wave Doppler radar antennas (BR-1001, BR-1022, BR-29015, BR-3502, BR-3503), the JB-6e Ethernet-based signal acquisition junction box with dual 16-bit A/D channels at 2.5 MHz sampling, acoustic (AT-01) and optical (OT-01) trigger devices for synchronizing radar with muzzle events, and the TestCenter 6 Windows-based analysis software. The underlying technology is FFT-based digital signal processing — a proprietary approach that delivers substantially improved sensitivity over legacy analog zero-crossing techniques — supporting measurements across calibers from 5.56 mm small arms to 155 mm artillery and ranges up to 8,600 m. Multiple products carry FCC and/or CE certifications.
Infinition operates as a B2B enterprise field-sales business with quote-based pricing (no public list prices), per-product inquiry forms, dedicated technical support, and direct phone/email engagement. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of radar systems and accessories, supplemented by TestCenter software licensing (versioned releases) and technical support services. Distribution is direct-to-customer via the corporate website rather than through third-party resellers, and the company claims a global customer base despite the absence of disclosed international offices or distributor networks.

Infinition product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Infinition designs, manufactures, and sells Doppler radar-based ballistic instrumentation systems used to measure projectile velocities. The product line includes 10 GHz and 35 GHz Doppler radar antennas (BR series), an Ethernet-based signal acquisition junction box (JB-6e), acoustic and optical trigger devices (AT-01, OT-01), and the TestCenter 6 analysis software. Customers span defense, testing laboratories, law enforcement, ammunition manufacturers, and shooting ranges.
Product overview
Infinition is a specialized provider of ballistic instrumentation radar systems founded in 1996, headquartered in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. The product portfolio consists of Doppler radar antennas (BR series in 10 GHz and 35 GHz frequencies), signal acquisition hardware (JB-6e junction box), trigger devices (AT-01 acoustic and OT-01 optical), and TestCenter 6 analysis software. The BR series radars measure projectile velocities from 5.56mm to 155mm calibers at ranges from a few meters to over 8km. The ecosystem operates through a unified workflow: BR-series radars capture Doppler signals, JB-6e junction box digitizes and transfers data via Ethernet, and TestCenter 6 software processes, analyzes, and generates ballistic reports in Microsoft Excel. Trigger devices (AT-01 and OT-01) synchronize radar acquisition with external events like muzzle exit. A consumer-facing variant called Labradar is also mentioned, offering Doppler radar technology for personal ballistic measurement.

Infinition competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Weibel Scientific: Danish manufacturer of Doppler radar systems for ballistic velocity measurement, including continuous-wave and MMW (millimeter-wave) radars serving defense, aerospace, and ammunition-testing customers. Most direct technical competitor to Infinition, offering overlapping dual-band Doppler product families.
- Oehler Research: U.S. maker of ballistic chronographs and test instruments used by law enforcement, ammunition manufacturers, and shooting sports customers. Closely comparable product category (ballistic velocity measurement) but historically more optical/chronograph-based than radar.
- Shooting Chrony: North American manufacturer of ballistic chronographs widely used at shooting ranges and by reloaders/ammunition manufacturers. Comparable in target customer (precision shooters, range operators) and complementary to Infinition's Labradar consumer line.
- MagnetoSpeed: U.S. maker of barrel-mounted ballistic chronographs for the precision/long-range shooting market. Directly comparable in serving the precision-shooting segment that Infinition's Labradar sub-brand targets.
Broad incumbents
- Garmin (Xero Chronograph): Garmin's Xero A1/A10 chronographs compete with Infinition's Labradar in the consumer/precision-shooting ballistic-measurement market, while Garmin brings far broader consumer-electronics scale, R&D budget, and retail distribution.
- Hensoldt: German defense sensor house offering radar, electronic warfare, and test/measurement capabilities to military customers. Overlaps with Infinition in radar-based defense testing and represents the type of prime that could absorb a niche specialist.
- Thales: Global defense and aerospace prime with a broad radar, electronic warfare, and missile-testing portfolio. Comparable as a defense customer of ballistic instrumentation and a potential strategic acquirer of niche radar IP.
- Lockheed Martin: Major U.S. defense prime with significant radar, fire-control, and guided-weapons test programs that consume ballistic instrumentation similar to Infinition's BR-series radars.
- RTX (Raytheon): U.S. defense prime operating across missile systems, radars, and weapons testing—relevant as both a buyer of ballistic test instrumentation and a possible consolidator of niche specialists.
- ELTA Systems (IAI): Israeli defense electronics subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries, producing radar, ELINT, and defense sensor systems. Comparable as a broader defense radar player and a potential customer/partner for ballistic test radar.
