The SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing in Orlando, FL is considered one of the most important events for learning about the rapid acquisition and deployment of sensing technologies within public, security, and government applications. The annual event calls for papers from researchers and engineers to contribute advancements in sensors, infrared, laser systems, spectral imaging, radar, lidar, autonomous systems, and other findings to the community. This year IFT and its collaborators presented 7 papers.  IFT sponsored the best paper and best student paper for one of the conferences. Dr. Genshe Chen served as a conference chair on Sensors and Systems for Space Applications XV and participated in Invited Panel on Heterogeneous Data Fusion Learning for Enhanced Xabilities Qi and Kelly served as session chairs.
