Silicon Valley startup Elio has introduced an adaptive optical technology that could help military systems identify small drones and other difficult-to-track threats in complex operational environments.

Rather than passively recording a scene, the system lets AI direct the sensing process, dynamically adjusting how incoming light is processed based on changing battlefield conditions and mission objectives.

It does this through programmable optical components that process light before it reaches the image sensor.
