29 September 2026 10:00 - 11:30
Eastern Daylight/Summer Time (US & Canada) (UTC -04:00)
Join us for the Optica Online Industry Meeting on Aerospace, where we explore how photonics is transforming aviation, space, and defense. From free-space optical communications to Earth observation, quantum-enhanced navigation, structural sensing, and advanced packaging, photonics is enabling safer, smarter, and more resilient aerospace systems.
This session will bring together mission perspectives, system integrators, and technology providers to discuss how optical and photonic technologies are moving from advanced capability into deployable aerospace systems. The discussion will highlight practical challenges around reliability, SWaP constraints, qualification, integration, manufacturability, and supply-chain readiness, while identifying new opportunities for technology suppliers across the aerospace value chain.
