Photonic and optoelectronic systems are now core to state-of-the-art military technology. Dimitrios Mandridis is CTO at Theon Sensors, designing cutting-edge night-vision, thermal, observation and augmented reality (AR) systems.

The key combination of modern lens and housing materials with the latest sensors aims to offer top-of-the-line electro-optical systems. Potential development of the projects Mandridis is working on include AR provided via heads-up displays and fused (multi-spectral) vision for the ground-based soldier.
