Some of the unique and innovative features distinguishing our Imaging Systems are:

  • Kennedy Scanner design for high SNR and 90° field of regard
  • Coverage of the electromagnetic spectrum from the ultraviolet to the thermal infrared
  • Bandwidths as small as 5nm for excellent spectral discrimination
  • Scan speeds greater than 100 Hz for spatial resolution smaller than 0.5 meters
  • Precision control of continuously adjustable scan speeds for flight at any altitude
  • Accurate mirror calibration for excellent image quality and fidelity
  • VME bus architecture for high reliability and system flexibilty
  • Electronics immune fro EMI, power fluctuations, and aircraft vibration
  • Modular processor PC based workstation for maximum user friendly performance
  • SpectrOS™ GUI software for real time image display and system control
  • Integrated IMU, GPS and 3-axis gyroscope data for image geometry and full georectification
  • Full spectral, radiometric, thermometric, and spatial calibration for quantitative data anlysis
