Date: August 20, 2025 Time: 14:00 UTC Location: Online (Webinar)
ASOG is proud to launch its first TechTalk webinar, featuring a cutting-edge conversation with Jean-Philippe Gagnon, a leading expert from Telops, part of Exosens, the Canadian innovator in hyperspectral imaging systems and infrared cameras.
Topic | Next-Generation Infrared & Hyperspectral Technologies for Airborne Applications
Jean-Philippe will unveil the latest advancements Telops is developing for airborne platforms—including compact, high-performance systems like the Hyper-Cam Nano, designed for drone-based chemical imaging and remote sensing. These technologies are transforming how we detect, analyze, and respond to complex environments from the sky.
Whether you're in defense, environmental monitoring, or airborne operations, this webinar will offer exclusive insights into the future of airborne imaging.
About the Guest
Jean-Philippe Gagnon is a Field Application Scientist at Telops, where he has been a driving force in infrared and hyperspectral imaging innovation since 2005.
