Smart Sensors for Security Fields

In an era marked by increasing global uncertainties, the role of smart sensor technologies in security and defense has become more critical than ever. This talk explores the integration of next-generation pressure-sensitive and conformal sensors into protective equipment, infrastructure, and surveillance systems. We will discuss the core principles behind flexible sensor arrays, real-time impact detection, and multi-zone sensing architectures capable of distinguishing between low-force interactions and critical threat events such as falls, strikes, or ballistic impacts. Attendees will gain insights into how sensor data fusion and intelligent processing can enhance situational awareness, reduce response time, and enable predictive threat assessment in both civilian and military security contexts.
