VIGO Photonics at SPIE Defense + Security 2026
14 April 2026
VIGO Photonics will be showcasing its latest infrared innovations dedicated to defense industry at the upcoming SPIE Defense + Security exhibition. The event will take place from April 26-30, 2026 in National Harbor, Maryland, USA.
With more than 30 years of experience collaborating with the global defense and military sectors, VIGO Photonics understands the rigorous demands of the field. We specialize in delivering high-performance, dedicated solutions designed to operate in the most challenging environments. Visit us at Booth #1106 to discuss how our technology can empower your next project.
What to Expect at Our Booth
This year, we are proud to highlight both our established core technologies and our future-ready innovations:
- Focal Plane Arrays (FPAs): Get an exclusive look at our latest project currently in development. Our FPAs represent the next step in high-resolution infrared sensing.
- Core Infrared Technology: We will be displaying our industry-leading MWIR (Mid-Wave Infrared) detectors and detection modules, known for their high speed and sensitivity without the need for cryogenic cooling.
These solutions are ideally suited for critical applications, including:
- Laser Detection
- IR Guidance
- Infrared Imaging
- IR Spectroscopy
- Ultra-fast Fire Detection
Interactive Demonstrators
Experience our technology in action through our live on-site demonstrators:
- Fireman Demonstrator: An effective display of speed and precision where our sensors detect the flame of a lighter and instantly extinguish it using a targeted pulse of air generated by a speaker.
- HELIOS (Helmet Laser Impulse Observation System): A proof-of-concept prototype designed to detect short pulses of infrared radiation. HELIOS operates in the spectral range of 800 nm to 1650 nm, demonstrating our capabilities in laser warning and situational awareness.
Our team of experts will be available throughout the event to answer your questions and explore custom solutions for your specific needs.
See you in Maryland!
