In late October 2025, Aragon Photonics took part in the 56th Business Meeting of the Sensor Technology (SET) Panel of NATO’s Science & Technology Organization (STO). Held under the motto “Stronger Together”, the event took place at Cadimare Air Base (La Spezia, Italy) and was organized by the NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE).

The meeting brought together 65 experts from 21 nations, including delegations from Switzerland and the Republic of Korea, establishing itself as a critical forum for technological cooperation in defense.

During the working sessions, the potential of our Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology was highlighted. In collaboration with strategic partners, the capabilities of DAS as a dual-use technology for underwater defense were presented, demonstrating how fiber-optic distributed sensing enables high-precision monitoring in ocean environments—essential for the protection of critical infrastructures and maritime security.
