As development cycles shrink, aerospace and defence testing faces three critical challenges: measuring extreme shock events that destroy contact sensors, testing ultra-lightweight structures without mass-loading distortion, and generating high-density data to validate digital twins. This presentation explores how Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV) addresses these bottlenecks.

Featuring real-world case studies, from explosive shock testing to operational measurements on hovering rotorcraft, Tobias will demonstrate how non-contact optical measurement delivers the precision and node-level validation modern simulation model's demand.
