Airborne Optics to See and Strike For optics, part of the future is up in the air. Airborne imaging depends on optics to get light where it needs to go. Now, larger detectors in traditional imaging bands, and others that operate in relatively new spectral ranges, are forcing optical components to evolve to keep up and deliver the clearest possible image. At the same time, aerial-directed energy weapons — primarily...

Overcoming Precision-Guided Munitions, Sensing Challenges Situational awareness is an ever-increasing challenge for armed forces deployed across vast areas and engaged in multiple conflicts. Modern soldiers have become data collectors in today’s...
EDITORIAL
Improving Defense, With Precision The 21st century battlefield is marked by distance and precision. Remote weapons systems, precision-guided munitions and weaponized vehicles that can be operated remotely are mainstays of the modern battle theater. This fundamental shift in the nature of warfare is due to seismic technological advances — many of them photonic.

PICTURE THIS
The Fall of Rayleigh’s Curse The Hope Diamond; Egypt’s infamous Tutankhamun; Turáni átok in Hungary — all are associated with purported curses that continue to plague believers around the world. The optics world has a curse of its own, of sorts — one that has recently been disproven thanks to the work of a team of international scientists. Optical resolution is the ability of an imaging system...
