80 years after the hostilities ceased in Europe, marking the end of World War II, conflict has once again returned to the continent. In response to this volatile security environment, European nations are ramping up their force posture—investing heavily in defence readiness and deterrence operations to uphold national sovereignty and allied cohesion.
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets are now recognised as strategic force multipliers. Central to ISR is computer vision, which leverages image sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to gather, process, and analyze data, providing crucial insights to defense, security, and first-responder forces. But AI is only as good as the data it uses, and traditional image sensors often struggle to deliver reliable information in complex environments.
This white paper outlines how wide-spectrum sensing—extending beyond the visible—will deliver battlefield awareness and operational overmatch to ISR platforms. Download the paper to understand how next-generation vision systems can harden national defence and secure the operating environment for future generations.
