Pushing The Boundaries of Electro-Optics
At NEO, we specialise in cutting-edge electro-optical systems, combining advanced R&D with precision manufacturing to deliver world-class solutions for industry, aerospace and defence. From hyperspectral imaging and spectroscopy to laser and LiDAR systems, our expertise enables you to see beyond the visible.

What We Do
We develop advanced electro-optical technologies and high-performance instruments that enable precise measurement, imaging and analysis across scientific, industrial and space-based applications. Through a combination of in-house research, engineering and manufacturing, we deliver robust, customisable solutions built for demanding environments and mission-critical use.
Research & Development
R&D is at the core of everything we do. From hyperspectral imaging to laser and LiDAR systems and advanced spectroscopy, our teams push the limits of what’s possible in electro-optical sensing and imaging.
Products & Solutions
Our product portfolio includes the renowned HySpex hyperspectral imaging systems, laser and LiDAR platforms, and turn-key industrial inspection systems. Each product is backed by deep expertise in optics, sensors, signal processing and application engineering.

Applications
We serve a wide range of industries: resource mapping and mining, precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, manufacturing inspection, aerospace and defence. Our systems are deployed from drones and aircraft to satellites and laboratory installations.
Our Products
From airborne hyperspectral cameras to industrial inspection systems and space-qualified instruments, our product portfolio reflects decades of engineering excellence. All systems are designed, tested and manufactured in Norway for maximum performance and reliability.

HySpex Hyperspectral Cameras
We are internationally recognised for our hyperspectral imaging technology, developed through decades of research. Our systems capture detailed spectral information across hundreds of bands, enabling precise material analysis for scientific, industrial and remote-sensing applications.
