MKS Ophir has released details of an upcoming webinar exploring reflective optics for multispectral systems.
The session on August 28th, 2024, will cover:
- Background: The fundamentals of multispectral systems, combining various imaging bands to enhance performance without increasing size and weight.
- Applications: Focused on aerial EO multispectral imaging systems.
- Design for Manufacturing: Manufacturing process, including raw material considerations, geometrical design, and the importance of a controlled environment.
- Capabilities and Performance: The capabilities of large aluminum mirrors and their role in multispectral telescopes, with a focus on case studies and performance metrics.
Large reflective optics are essential for high-performance multispectral electro-optics imaging systems in defense, surveillance, and aerospace. These systems capture multiple wavelengths to improve target identification and combine data from various bands to offer a comprehensive environmental view, enhancing situational awareness. They excel in adverse conditions by penetrating haze, smoke, and challenging weather better than visible light, and they provide high-resolution imaging for detailed analysis and accurate decision-making. Using advanced data fusion, these systems enhance target recognition and tracking, adapt to various mission requirements from surveillance to disaster response, and reduce operational costs by minimizing the number of necessary maneuvers.
Who should attend?
R&D scientists, engineers, and manufacturers who work at defense and aerospace OEMs that specialize in advanced electro optical systems, unmanned aircraft systems, and others. Purchasers and program managers who are interested in imaging and optical components, and reflective optics.
