Optronics
This training will provide learners with an overview of optronics and its military and civilian applications.
The course lasts 5 days (30 hours) and includes:
- Lectures with projections
- Examples and applications
- 2 factory visits
The course is intended for engineers who are not specialized in optical techniques and who are required to use optronic systems or who want to become familiar with them.
It is designed and constructed to enable learners to open a dialog with optronics specialists.
Course level: Basic/Advanced
This course is for engineers with a good basic general education (DUES level)*.
*French diploma of general university studies with science
