Abstract

The Organising Committee of the fourth SPIE European Symposium on Optics/ Photonics in Security and Defence invites you to submit papers to this exciting meeting that crosses the divide between fundamental optical science and the application of the underpinning technologies in advanced defence and security systems&#046; The event will be co&#8211;located with the 14th SPIE Symposium on Remote Sensing, which enhances opportunities to collaborate with new partners from related fields of activity&#046; Showcase your multi&#8211;disciplinary research in this major international forum&#046;<br>New challenges continue to emerge as strategies such as network&#8211;enabled capability/network&#8211;centric warfare evolve&#046; Similarly, the problems posed by asymmetric warfare, by military operations in the urban theatre and in peace&#8211;keeping are changing the way that the technology base is likely to be exploited in the future&#046; 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&#046;<br>The Optics/Photonics Symposium in Security and Defence will address all aspects of this evolving field&#8211;materials, optical devices, enabling technologies, advanced concepts, sensors (including their design, fabrication and exploitation), silicon microsystems, nanotechnology, bio&#8211;inspiration and biomimetics, signal processing and control, laser technologies and their application, electro&#8211;optic systems concepts, modelling and simulation&#8211;to name but a few&#046; Engineers and researchers from government, military, academia and the commercial sector will discuss current status and future directions&#046; <b>Keywords:</b> Infrared Systems<br>Remote Sensing<br>Biological and Chemical Sensing<br>Unmanned/Unattended Sensors<br>Imaging and Display Technologies<br>Optical Materials and Technologies<br>
