EPIC TechSession: New Developments for Defense & Security Applications
Axel Haunholter
Chief Operating Officer Optosigma
Modern defense and security systems increasingly rely on advanced photonics technologies for sensing, communication, and navigation. Applications such as airborne surveillance systems, quantum-secure communication, and next-generation timing systems require optical platforms that combine high precision with exceptional mechanical and thermal stability.
In this presentation, we will share selected examples of photonics technologies used in defense and security applications. Examples from quantum technology, airborne imaging, and precision sensing highlight the importance of stable optical alignment, robust mechanical design, and carefully selected optical materials.
