See the Invisible: Optics and Laser Threat Detection for the Battlefield

Modern battlefields are increasingly dominated by invisible laser threats from rangefinders and target designators to dazzlers and directed-energy weapons. In a recent article for Laser Focus World, Jamie Pindard, Executive Vice President of Optical Systems at G&H, explores how advanced photonics and optical engineering are redefining protection for soldiers and vehicles.

Key features of the article include:

• Periscopes with Sentinel Embedded Laser Detection – integrating advanced laser threat detection for improved crew protection.
• Frost Laser Protection Filters for riflescopes – safeguarding operators from laser dazzle and blinding while maintaining optical clarity.
• Precision Microlithographic Reticles – a new G&H capability, offering sub-micron accuracy for targeting and imaging applications.
• Embedded Image Periscope (EIP) with PodView™ 2500 – delivering AI-enabled, 360° situational awareness for armoured vehicles.

As highlighted in Laser Focus World, G&H is committed to advancing defence technologies that protect personnel, enhance situational awareness, and ensure mission success. With enhanced precision optics manufacturing, advanced coating technologies, and integrated system solutions, G&H is uniquely positioned to deliver mission-critical defence optics to global partners.

Optics and photonics may once have been seen as enablers of defense, but today they are its front line. At G&H, we are proud to help our customers see the invisible, detect the undetectable, and protect against the unseen threats. Read the full article now.
