Engineering Optics for Aerospace Imagers: Digital-Twin Workflows from Concept to Validated Systems (Americas Session)

September 15, 2026 | 10:00 AM PDT

Earth observation systems and aerial drones share optical systems design workflow similarities – from telescope and imager architectures, stray-light control, and multi-spectral performance requirements for a variety of applications.

In this webinar, we will share a few of these workflows and approach to those common threads through the optical system requirements and architecture development.

We will also touch on changes coming in design relying on compute power, combined GUI and script-based software operation, as well as the impact of AI-assisted tools on speeding time to market.

Come see how Keysight’s Optical Design Engineering tools – including CODE V, LightTools, and ImSym – can help streamline your optical systems engineering for earth observation and airborne imagers into a common digital-twin workflow, from concept to validated system.

Who Should Attend?

Optical and imaging system engineers
Lens, telescope, and imager designers
Systems engineers developing earth observation or airborne imaging platforms
Engineers evaluating digital-twin workflows
Teams interested in AI-assisted optical design and simulation
