Electro-optical sensors in laser-detection to reveal concealed optics and lasers offered by Sentinel

Oct. 1, 2025
ECHO is a rugged handheld laser-detection system that exposes concealed hostile optics and lasers that use magnified optics of any kind.

Summary points:

  • Sentinel Photonics unveils ECHO and LASERD MAX systems for covert laser and optics detection in contested environments.
  • ECHO handheld device detects concealed optics up to 3 km using advanced retro-reflection, ideal for surveillance and sniper scope detection.
  • LASERD MAX provides real-time, autonomous laser threat mapping up to 10 km, even in high-threat electronic warfare zones.

FARNBOROUGH, England – Sentinel Photonics in Farnborough, England, is introducing the ECHO and LASERD MAX laser-detection systems to expose covert lasers and optics in contested environments.

ECHO is a rugged handheld laser-detection system that exposes concealed hostile optics and lasers that use magnified optics of any kind, for military, law enforcement, and high-security operations It can detect optics at distances as far as three kilometers even under harsh environmental conditions.

ECHO uses advanced retro-reflection to uncover surveillance threats, and operates across the wide spectrum to enable operators to identify concealed optics without compromising their own position in surveillance, counter-surveillance, VIP protection, sniper scope detection, and border operations.

Laser intelligence

The LASERD MAX advanced laser intelligence (LasINT) system gives operators real-time situational awareness of unknown laser threats. Designed for high-tempo high-threat operations, LASERD MAX delivers persistent, autonomous laser detection from as far away as 10 kilometers across the visible and non-visible laser spectrum.

These electro-optical sensors enable users to map, log, and analyse laser activity passively in real time, even in complex or contested electronic warfare (EW) environments. Threat types include laser directed-energy weapons, rangefinders, beamriders, LIDAR, and covert illuminators. It has a compact size and several camouflage options.
