Overview: Optronic sensor systems

Research focuses on new and novel electro-optic sensors; the modelling, simulation, engineering, testing, evaluation and development of advanced electro-optical sensor systems for day, night and multispectral surveillance. In addition, researchers evaluate and design countermeasure and electronic warfare techniques in the visual and infrared wavelengths.

Specific research groups include optronic survivability, optical surveillance systems, modelling and simulation, photonic technologies and test and evaluation, andmeasurement science.
