Specialised Sensing Remained a Strategic Advantage

Relationship to Annual Outlook: Strengthens the Outlook

2/16/2024

Summary

Early 2024 evidence strongly supports specialized sensing as a strategic layer. SWIR, quantum dot SWIR, ToF, hyperspectral, multispectral, global shutter and thermal imaging all appear across research and commercial evidence.
