Description

  • Type

    Short course

EO/IR systems are commonplace in both civil and military applications and as the technology matures their capability continues to grow and their cost begins to come down. These factors mean that EO/IR systems are likely to see accelerated proliferation especially in the defence environment. This course is therefore designed to cover more advanced application of EO/IR technology and thus enable the student to understand its importance in the context of the wider defence system.
