SPIE Security + Defence 2014

The conferences in SPIE Security+Defence cross the divide between fundamental optical science and the application of the underpinning technologies in advanced defence and security systems. This is a unique symposium that will offer many opportunities to network with colleagues from a variety of disciplines in academia, industry, and government from all over the World, while addressing the new challenges that continue to emerge: network-enabled capability/network-centric warfare evolve; asymmetric warfare: military operations in the urban theatre; and peace-keeping.

SPIE Security+Defence will consider how the fundamental and emerging technology base is likely to be exploited in the future will be changing:
+ Advanced Free-Space Optical Communication Techniques and Applications
+ Unmanned/Unattended Sensors and Sensor Networks
+ Electro-Optical Remote Sensing
+ Technologies for Optical Countermeasures
+ Military Applications in Hyperspectral Imaging and High Spatial Resolution Sensing
+ Emerging Technologies
+ Millimetre Wave and Terahertz Sensors and Technology
+ Optical Materials and Biomaterials in Security and Defence Systems Technology
+ Optics and Photonics for Counterterrorism, Crime Fighting and Defence
+ Quantum-Physics-Based Information Security
+ High-Power Lasers 2014: Technology and Systems
+ Electro-Optical and Infrared Systems: Technology and Applications
