Synopsis / Description:

This event addresses the technological and academic challenges of the continually evolving defence and security industry. New challenges continue to emerge as strategies such as network-enabled capability/network-centric warfare evolve. Similarly, the problems posed by asymmetric warfare, by military operations in the urban theatre and in peace-keeping are changing the way that the fundamental and emerging technology base is likely to be exploited in the future. This unique symposium will offer many opportunities to network with colleagues from a variety of disciplines in academia, industry, and government from all over the World, while still maintaining a distinctly European focus. 

SPIE Europe Security and Defence will consider all aspects of this evolving field:

• Materials
• Optical devices
• Enabling technologies
• Advanced concepts
• Sensors (including their design, fabrication and exploitation)
• Silicon micro-systems
• Nanotechnology
• Bio-inspiration and biomimetics
• Signal processing and control
• Laser technologies and their application
• Electro-optic systems and concepts
• Modelling and simulation
