Hyperspec RECON is a rugged and portable hyperspectral imaging sensor designed to provide discrete target identification of a 6" x 6" scene at a distance of up to a mile. The sensor, which operates in the VNIR spectral range of 380nm-1000nm, was developed to quickly and accurately detect and classify materials within the field of view based on specific spectral signatures. Hyperspec RECON was developed for the U.S. Army and can be deployed as a handheld unit or mounted on a vehicle or mast. Application areas for Hyperspec RECON include military/defense, homeland security, border patrol, base security, and remote sensing and analysis.
